Bill total does not match sub-total and vat

I've just changed our billing to include VAT on them, but what I quickly noticed is that total does not match sub-total and vat rate.

My last bill lists the following:

 

Net amount: £32.62

VAT amount (20%): £6.52

Invoice total: £39.15 - should be £39.14

 

 

Any idea why it calculates it incorrectly and could you please rectify so I can reconcile?

Any chance you can send us a screenshot showing this?

It's not matching with what we can see.

That is odd as the copy on our end shows the correct addition as shown below.

Could you correct my online invoice please and is there any way to ensure it's correct in the future?

Actually hold on - VAT amount is incorrect on your screenshot - 20% of £32.62 is £6.524 - rounding to £6.52 - not as you've shown £6.53 ?

Re: Bill total does not match sub-total and vat

The VAT Amount at the bottom, looks to be the sum of the VAT column.  The row for "Plusnet Weekeds charge..." looks to have incorrectly calcuated VAT.  £15.82 x 0.2 = 3.164, which is showing as £3.17.

 

If you add up 0.03 + 3.33 + 3.17 + 0.00 you end up with the £6.53

Re: Bill total does not match sub-total and vat

BT round everything up, i.e. the duration of a call is rounded up to a whole minute, the net price is then applied and the result rounded up to a whole penny, VAT is then applied and the price is again rounded up to a whole penny.  Since PN is under the BT umbrella, they may well do the same.

I don't mind them rounding - I just want the bill to have correct figures.
