Frankly this was bound to happen, if you ask for tax clarification their
default position is to "tax it."
What was happening was that Apple were taking the hit, if a directive is issued
then they will, as a matter of course stop.
It is a pity that this didn't run for a while longer and then there could have
been a more sensible discussion between Apple and the inspectorate.
I warn you for future reference never ask for clarity VAT is hard to circumvent.

No Apple products should be VAT exempt as they are not adapted for the
specifically disabled people. This is an issue that has been born in the side
of many for the last few weeks, HM RC have clarified the situation as far as I
understand it and therefore the matter is closed.

Hi. Yesterday I went to the Apple store and was looking at the iPad Mini.
When I was approached by the salesman! I had a conversation with him about the
VAT exemption. He then proceeded to e-mail head office and this went on for at
least half an hour because they wanted to be sure of the whole situation. When
he finally got back to me ! He told me that their range of Mac computers such
as the iMac or laptop were only part of this VAT Exemption and Tablets weren’t.
Anyway I purchased the iPad Mini but I wasn’t totally satisfied with their
explaination because both range of products had Voiceover built into the OS.
Anyway I was happy with the product and the size is much more ideal for me. I
like to watch videos on a larger screen even if I can’t describe what’s going
on. I just like the form factor and it replaces my netbook.
