- B.
Lower-rated (5%) - it's a fuel
- C.
Standard-rated (20%) - it's a biscuit
- D.
Zero-rated - it's a cake
Correct Answer
D. Zero-rated - it's a cakeExplanation
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.Rate this question:
