Those of you in the U.K. will probably be aware that in his pre-budget report the Chancellor announced that the standard rate of VAT will be reduced to 15% on 1 December 2008.

This means that for any sales of standard-rated goods or services that take place on or after 1 December 2008 providers should charge VAT at the new rate of 15%.

We’ve updated Bionic Books to include this temporary rate and you’ll find it amongst your sales tax options the next time you record a sale or a purchase.

In other Bionic news we’ve been working hard behind the scenes on the hotly anticipated ‘Undo’ functionality, which is why you haven’t heard much from us lately, so expect more on that very soon.

Thanks once again to all of you that have got in touch and given us feedback – we devour everything you say and all of the work we’ve got planned is based on and prioritised by what we hear from you; if there is something you’d really like Bionic Books to do or something that you’d like us to sort out and you haven’t yet, you can get in touch here.
