You might not have noticed in all the frustration, but you got overcharged. 170 + 20% VAT is 204, not 206.50.

Maybe they added a card fee in at the end, but if they didn’t make that abundantly clear, they’ve broken a law in most countries which use the Euro.

Why 20% VAT? Different EU countries have different tax brackets, so OP might not have had 20%.

There’s a European country with a 21.470588235% tax rate? No I think GP is right and there’s a hidden 2.50 handling fee.

Lol, that's a fair point, you're probably right on that.

Probably because VAT_floor(206.5/170)=20

VAT is not 20% everywhere worldwide.
