The university has officially agreed to reinstate the tax exemption for student purchases. This outcome is a testament to the persistence of the 375 people who stood behind this cause. We will keep a close watch on campus pricing to ensure these savings are reflected at the register.
We the students of Edinburgh University want to see the VAT exemption for students reintroduced and prices kept as low as possible in University Outlets.
By law students are VAT exempt and by charging students 17.5% more in campus outlets Edinburgh University Accomodation Services are abuing their monopoly on campus and putting added strain on student's individual finances.
This is unnacceptable and we will not stand for it.
RIDICULOUS prices. really struggling to pay for lunch between classes. do better EUSA.

Prices at the shop are a joke. I can literally walk down the street and pay way less for the same thing. Stop taking advantage of us.
