Couple of Questions

Post by Yan Panik »

Anyone have any idea? If Royal Mail is privatised can it still be called ROYAL mail or will the name have to change? UK Mail - oh no that ones already gone.
Also as it will be just another private company will its current exemption from VAT (already under challenge) continue? If not that's a 20 percent price hike which must affect any share value as it puts the company at a massive disadvantage.
It would put a lot of people of obtaining shares surely?

My local is called The Royal Bar if that's any help. :neutral:

Vat exemption applies to the USO provider. :neutral:
