How can you prove that? Or prove that Amazon isn't handling VAT properly? Have you purchased a book from each of the sites and seen what they charged?

And the advertised price has nothing to do with whether they handle VAT properly or not. It only has something to do with how much VAT they charge, along with the VAT rate. The fact that Amazon has not changed their advertised price is in no way an indication that Amazon is not handling VAT properly. At the most, it is an indication that they are greedy. But, it's probably more an indication of how long it takes to implement an unexpected change.

And, honestly, why do you care? It isn't going to affect you. I can understand an initial comment, but, after that, wouldn't your time be better spent doing something else. And I mean just about anything else.
