Whilst completing Tax returns and VAT returns this month I have again hit the anomaly in the UK VAT law which always make me giggle.
As you will probably know there are intricacies such as there being no VAT on tea or coffee but if you pour hot water on it and sell it then it becomes a service and is therefore taxable. I can understand the logic behind this but what I have never been able to fathom is why chocolate biscuits are taxable and yet chocolate cake isn't! Perhaps it is an insight into the minds of those at Westminster, it would seem that they want us to eat cake. Looking back at history we all know what happens when figures of authority say "Let them eat cake!"
