The OP is so specific and as their posting history includes offering discount vouchers for similar products, does make me wonder if there is some sort of unstated commercial interest involved here?

I wish they would stop all this bollox and just charge a flat rate of VAT on absolutely everything and be done with it and get rid of the whole industry of hangers on who argue in courts about whether a Jaffa cake is a biscuit or a cake.

Wise! Are you chewmylegoff an economist?

VAT harmonization should be no argument for leaving the EU.

VAT is common for the entire world, you do not have the system passing them.

With Boris Johnson and Michael Gove claiming that Brexit would allow the UK to scrap VAT on petrol, these climate change sceptics show their true colours. Of course there won't be any reduction in value added tax on energy bills or cheaper petrol after the UK leaves the EU, David Cameron resigns, the stock market crashes, Pound Sterling devalues, ... but as Brexiters have lost the economic argument, they might try to insinuate more bogus promisses.

I suppose the point is that if we left we could scrap VAT on those things.
