That accounts for the apparently low VAT on many of the Aurorae. 5% of £160 is £8 which is about what a lot of us have been charged before adding the £13.50 fee. That's one little mystery solved. I suggest that Darryl sticks to the 9705 00 00 90 code since it seems appropriate and gives a lower VAT rate.
