£1.83 per week inc. Vat.

You would have had to pay Vat before - it's not exempt

I have just renewed my UK Membership for £79.95, or £1.54 a week

If you can find any offers around for new members, and call them, you may well get the offer price.  I did in January!  There was 20% off at the time, so the nice lady said I could renew for that as well.

If you live abroad you don't have to pay the UK's VAT 

I had an email from Ancestry last week telling me that my subscription due at the end of July will be £83-40.
£1-60 per week,cheaper than an M and S sandwich 

I wonder why everyone's is so different?

We've had a similar discussion before. The fee does seem to be very variable - and negotiable! I managed to get a significant discount.

Don't spose that qualifies then does it Gadget?

You never know though 

I'm sure my quotes have been in US dollars and then get converted but I have World membership so maybe that's why.
