We get this regularly with our stone restoration.

Businessmen , or retired businessman, pay so much in tax they really grudge paying VAT for a household luxury.

I have to mark every job up by 20% so they can haggle me back down to the original vat inclusive price and I can keep our book keeper happy.

Problem would arise if they tell you to jog on and dont try the haggle lol Id rather have a piece of the pie and give a piece of the service than no pie atall.  ;D
