Dear Andrew,
At Betfair you always get the best possible products and services. To ensure you continue to get a premium experience, we are increasing the base commission rate on Betfair Exchange markets in your country to 6.5% from January 30th.
You can of course continue to earn significant discounts of up to 60% on this commission rate through the Betfair points system. A full explanation of how your commission is calculated can be found at Betfair Learning.
This rate increase does not apply to any promotional markets with a fixed commission rate.
Thank you for your continued business and good luck with your future betting at Betfair.
Yours Sincerely,
Betfair Customer Service

good job your gas and lecky is half the price of ours here in he uk
You could write and tell them that you don't get the best possible product/service 9should be easy to give examples), and therefore that you'd like to opt out of the premium service, and opt in to the ordinary one, and request a quote for the ordinary one.
ANDREW THEY JUST KNOW HOW MUCH YOU SWEDES EARN AND WANT A SLICE OFF THE CAKE 
There's a Ukrainian guy complaining about the same thing on footie. Apparently they have been putting up the rates in a lot of countries. It might be due to tax on their turnover.
Just been reading that thread - salmon

used to live in nortalje and boros lovely country,had a horse trained there aswell and had Michael khan top trainer around for dinner once!!.
Seaside, I guess you meant Norrtälje (North East of Stockholm). I'm more or less between N and Borås. Lovely area.
Reged, Elk pasties might go down well

wow Andrew, I think you've got sommat there! And how about reindeer pasties at Xmas?
I think the " point of purchase " tax is not a tax on betting as such it just makes them pay Corporation Tax on profits made in the UK,rather than the more or less non-existent payments in Gibraltar and Malta.
No salmon its 15% on gross profits from uk customers, but no tax on foreign customers. So if they went back to the uk completely they would pay no uk gaming tax on eg swedish customers.
so what is it you do for work Andrew just curious ,m8 ?
Wreak revenge on Betfair by losing lots of money to people in the UK, then Betfair will get less commission.
Czech Republic also 6.5%
I seriously think it's a late Christmas present to "BedDuck" :)

yes that's the spelling,also lived in fristad (work clothing name I think) outside boras...do you go to taby?.miss that place so much,used to do the v65 and dagens dubell!!!
Seaside, never been to Täby, but I went to the elitloppet (trotting championships) at Solvalla in past years, but not these days. I don't really like the trotting, but a few friends to go to Mantorp regularly and I used to tag along. Same with the V65 and DD, I don't play it now, but did have the consolation dividend once for a few bob. I couldn't seem to grasp the form angle and lost more than I won over the years. A few British trainers send the odd flat runners over occasionally for the better races.
Homefortea, it's dark enough as it is

Homefortea, apart from occasional very cold winters, it's a great country to live in and the positives far outweigh the negatives. With respect to your following post, I can assure you i'm not
Going back to subject of the topic, I pay between 3.5% - 3.7% at the moment, so effectively I could be paying 5.2% after next week, more than I would if I opened an account tomorrow with a UK address. Many would say it's a small difference and to swallow the extra, but take 1.5% over the course of a year. At least there is another 'option'
