TSS price display guidelines

As the Christmas season approaches, Trading Standards Service (TSS) reminds businesses to display prices clearly

The Department for the Economy’s Trading Standards Service (TSS) reminds businesses to clearly display their prices, in preparation for the holiday season.

By law, prices must be:

• easy to read
• clear
• easily identifiable
• inclusive of VAT

These requirements also apply to items displayed in shop windows, except for a single piece of jewellery, precious metal or a watch priced over £3,000.

Traders can contact Consumerline on 0300 123 6262 or visit the Consumer Advice website for more guidance.
