The VAT rate in the UK is currently 17.5%, not 19% as hard coded in the class. Also, not everyone is VAT registered and so in db_config.php I have amended the definition of VAT_VALUE as follows:

From:

define("INCL_VAT", true);
define("VAT_VALUE", 19);

to:
define("INCL_VAT", false);
if(INCL_VAT) define("VAT_VALUE", 17.5);
else define("VAT_VALUE", 0);

Perhaps another fix could be included to set INCL_VAT to true or false by the user for individual products, as some products (ie books) are zero rated.
