and another one:
Jaffa Cakes are designated cake produce by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise. There have been murmurings of a serious cake vs. biscuit dispute in the Houses of Parliament involving VAT arguments, biscuit moisture versus cake moisture ratios...
According to the crumbtastic A nice cup of tea and a sit down website, Jaffa cakes are indeed cakes, "Yes the VAT man wanted it to be a biscuit. That way it would fall by virtue of its chocolate coat into a category of products liable to VAT at the standard rate, i.e. luxury biscuits. As a cake however it is zero rated for VAT, no matter how luxuriant, much to the VAT man's continuing annoyance."
So that should put an end to it, so sleep well my friend!
