"Ladies products" are zero rated

Did they eventually change it then? I know they always used to be vatable and there was a big hoohah about getting the law changed.

Its on HMRC's list for [strike]zero rating[/strike] reduced rate (5%) - I didnt read it properly, sorry.

Apples are non vatable but quite often exotic fruit is vatable.

Plain biscuits arent but jaffa cakes are. It is quite interesting what they decide as necessaties.

One of the bonuses of eating more OS and baking my own goodies is indeed that there are very few vat'able items on my receipts!

You're right (on both counts :rolleyes: ) so I'll move your question to the Shop Don't Drop Board

Reference the "ladies products VAT", it just goes to show that all this is down to men - only they would think these were not essential!!

And how come you can get condoms for free but not these!

I am glad you asked, I was wondering at the weekend as Sainsburys does this too.
