The numbers are not the issue here and as fliion has said already, it is the lack of transparency.

How would you feel if you went into a car garage for a service and they said the cost of parts has gone up by 10%, so as a result we are going to charge you 20% more? No one likes being taken for a ride!

The issue here is that APC have not told us what they estimate VAT, inflation plus any other costs to be, which is supported with a detailed and reasonable explanation. The 20% seems to be nothing more than a figure plucked from thin air, since they have failed to justify it otherwise.
