    What is the correct VAT treatment on the sale of Jaffa Cakes in one of the shops at an Anchor Hanover Group care village? - ProProfs

    What is the correct VAT treatment on the sale of Jaffa Cakes in one of the shops at an Anchor Hanover Group care village?

    • Exempt - it's a supply to people in care

    • Lower-rated (5%) - it's a fuel

    • Standard-rated (20%) - it's a biscuit

    • Zero-rated - it's a cake

    Correct Answer
    A. Zero-rated - it's a cake
    Explanation
    When the courts were determining this, they left a plate of cakes and biscuits out to see whether the Jaffa cake would go soft like a biscuit, or hard like a sponge cake.
    The result… the Jaffa cake went hard and was therefore defined as a cake for VAT purposes.
    Cakes are always zero rated regardless of whether they are topped with chocolate.
