This was nicked from .. NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com " In 1991 the matter went to a tribunal (number 6344 in case you were wondering) in which the VAT man argued that the Jaffa wasn’t a cake and so should not be exempt from VAT (VATA 1983 Sch 5 Group 1 excepted item 2), trotting out all the old arguments. McVities countered with all of the other old arguments plus a specially prepared 12 inch Jaffa Cake, which focused the tribunal’s attention on the sponge base. The tribunal concluded that, while the product also had characteristics of biscuits or confectionery which was not cake, it had sufficient characteristics of cakes to be a cake for the purposes of zero-rating. (The tribunal also determined that the product was not a biscuit.) " ;D So its not a biscuit but has some of the characteristics of a biscuit .... one of which I contend is their ability to stand a dunking .... ;D cheers .. Hagar .. ;D Title: Re: cake or biscuit Post by: BikerGran on November 30, 2008, 11:21:19 PM tequila Jaffa cakes!
