I was checking rates for London in Jan on Starwood.com, and upon reading the fine print, realized the 17.5% VAT is not included in the rate.

I have never before seen a hotel rate quoted on a site without VAT. I have been quoted London SPG 50% rates without VAT.

Hmm; HM C&E take an extremely dim view of any VAT Registered firm marketing goods to consumers, pricing exclsive of VAT.

If I were you; I'd drop them a note here. OR tell Trading Standards here.

As a Non-EU citizen you qualify for a VAT refund anyway...

Alex
