I emailed local trading standards, but got an email back telling me they don't handle "consumer complaints" and to contact 'Consumer Advice' (nationally) with any such complaint, but that they'd get back to me within so many days if I was a business customer (!)
Also emailed HMRC, and got an acknowledgement. Charging too much VAT (so long as it gets paid to the HMRC) doesn't seem to be within their stated definition of tax fraud, but I am hoping they will be interested, because as someone said, it's as if a company were charging 30% for VAT, or 20% on food. Incidentally, the company operates in the name of the guy who runs it, who claims a string of qualifications and professional memberships in the arborical world, so one would have thought he should know about VAT.
