Effective from/With effect from + P or PP
Hi there, I understand that if an exact time is mentioned, then past tense should be used. But can you tell me if PP is also correct here:
1. With effect from 01 May 18, we started charging $5 for each purchase (assuming I'm sending this out today); or
2. With effect from 01 May 18, we have started charging $5 for each purchase (assuming I'm sending this out today); or
Tks,
Jason

If you insist on bizspeak, Jason, then at least tone it down to 'effective'. Effective May 1st , we have started charging $5 for each purchase. Use present perfect because you are announcing a fact.
