People keep telling you that you do not understand how VAT works, and you keep ignoring them.
There is nothing illegal whatsoever about the listed price not changing when the VAT rate changes. There isn't. People who live in countries with VAT, who understand how it works, keep telling you that. Perhaps they are right?
"Intention" and "legal" have nothing whatsover to do with each other.
The legal impact of the change is that the retailer no longer needs to take 20% of the purchase price and (after deducting their own import VAT) pass that on to the government.
The government would
like a price reduction to be made to pass the savings on to the consumer, but there is nothing whatsoever that legally requires that to be done.
