    You buy a hot cup of coffee from a local coffee shop, but they don't charge any VAT. Why?

    • Coffee is zero rated for VAT, it's an essential item, not a luxury!
    • Coffee is exempt from VAT. 
    • They're running a promotion, not charging VAT, to try and drum up business. 
    • The coffee shop turnover less than £85,000 a year, which is below the VAT threshold, so they aren't registered for VAT.
