A question about Tesco receipts!

The idea is supposed to be that we don't pay VAT on essentials such as food but we pay VAT on luxuries such as biscuits, crisps, toilet roll!, etc
And sanitary stuff! Stupid people :rolleyes: They're real 'luxuries' aren't they :rotfl:
[ETA: Read the other posts - reduced VAT is still too much

Those little *s come in very handy if you're a book keeper doing a VAT return and your client buys stock from Tesco!The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water
And I look like a tramp and tramps like us

Plain biscuits arent but jaffa cakes are. It is quite interesting what they decide as necessaties.
A biscuit with choc chips in is classed as food so zero rated. One with choc on top is luxury apparently so you pay VAT on! Also, from memory, gold jewellery was zero rated. Madness!0
