As a result of the VAT rate change announced earlier this week, the standard rate of VAT will change to 15% on Monday 1st December 2008. This has two implications for you as an Inter-est user:

1. The VAT rate used by Inter-est to calculate the net total value of  an estimate will be 15% for estimates created on or after 1st December.  Estimates created before this date will be unchanged at 17.5%. All printed reports now clearly state the VAT rate being used.

2. Users of the Inter-est system will be charged VAT at 15% for estimates created on or after 1st December, and 17.5% for estimates created before that date.

Please contact us if you require further information.

Inter-est Vision now includes support for Thatcham escribe methods packs.

For vehicles where Thatcham data has been released since February 2008, escribe will display a methods pack. A methods pack is an escribe methods manual which only contains those panels which are relevant to the estimate you have created, plus any standard information pages such as VIN location. This information is accessed by clicking on the escribe button in Inter-est Vision.
