Correct Answer
C. They are such a small business that they are not registered for VAT.Explanation
Businesses that have turnover of less than £85,000 do not have to register for VAT, which means they don't have to charge VAT on any goods they sell. Coffee is zero rated if you buy the beans (or instant!) to make at home yourself, but when someone makes you a coffee to drink then that's a supply " in the course of catering" so subject to VAT at 20% regardless of whether you take it away or not.Rate this question:
