If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you probably haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation!

£90 + vat @15% is £103.50.
They cannot count anyway you look at it. Prices should include VAT for customers nowdays as well.
Trading Standards might like a call.

It used to be the case that if you were selling mainly to consumers/end users then prices had to be inclusive of VAT. If you are selling trade or to business as your main market then you can offer ex.vat. Not sure if it is the same now.

If you aint got the original price in writing then I don't fancy your chances, sorry to say. If you have then you could probably insist on them holding to it.
Why don't you go to the bank and and get £105 pounds worth of 10 pence's and go back and see how they like to be arsed around!!!
