This £3.32 you keep mentioning is irrelevant
Everything has a price and VAT is added to that. That is how it works.

£3.99 is the price WITH VAT. £3.32 is the price when VAT is removed. VAT has been removed by the UK government. So the price should be £3.32 because there is no need to collect VAT.

An item is not £3.99 with or without VAT. That's not how it works.

VAT-exclusive prices

To work out a price excluding the standard rate of VAT (20%) divide the price including VAT by 1.2.
When you have an item that has VAT ad the VAT has been removed, the price is lowered. Because the price is not lowered, that means that VAT-exclusive price has been raised to be the same as it would have been VAT-inclusive.

How can you not see this is how it is?
