Why are Jaffa Cakes zero rated for VAT?
-
Because the administrators at HMRC are particular fans of Jaffa Cakes
-
Because they're food, and food is zero rated
-
Because they are cakes, and cakes are zero rated
-
Because they're biscuits, and all biscuits are zero rated
Correct Answer
A. Because they are cakes, and cakes are zero ratedExplanation
Jaffa cakes were the subject of a long and bitter court battle over whether they should be subject to VAT at 20% or 0%. HMRC argued that they're chocolate covered biscuits, which are standard rated, whilst the manufacturers said they were cakes, which are zero rated. In the end, the court determined that Jaffa cakes are cakes, because when left to go stale they go hard like a cake, rather than soft like a biscuit.Rate this question:
