PASTA LA VISTA TAXMAN.



Actually that was tragic about that lady. The issue had gone undiagnosed for too long.

4. Greggs celebrates "pasty tax" U-turn

(Reuters) - The head of Greggs said the government's decision not to extend VAT sales tax to freshly-baked savouries was a victory for consumers as well as the UK's largest bakery chain, whose profits would have been hit by the plan.

"We have been fighting on behalf of the customer and I'm just delighted with the way the government have conducted themselves, and at the outcome," Chief Executive Ken McMeikan told Reuters on Tuesday.

McMeikan, a former Tesco and Sainsbury's executive and Royal Navy veteran of the Falklands War, had vowed to fight Britain's Conservative-led government "to the bitter end" after finance minister George Osborne proposed the so-called "pasty tax" in his March budget speech.

The Treasury U-turn, announced late Monday, means retailers like Greggs will not have to charge VAT of 20 percent on freshly baked sausage rolls and Cornish pasties, provided they are not kept warm in a heated environment, are not sold in heat retaining packaging and are not marketed as hot.

I'm reminded of the HMRC v. McVities saga :

In the UK, value added tax is payable on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on chocolate-covered cakes. McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes in court, producing a 12" (30 cm) Jaffa Cake to illustrate that its Jaffa Cakes were simply miniature cakes. McVities argued that a distinction between cakes and biscuits is, among other things, that biscuits would normally be expected to go soft when stale, whereas cakes would normally be expected to go hard. It was demonstrated to the Tribunal that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale. Other factors taken into account by the Chairman, Potter QC, included the name, ingredients, texture, size, packaging, marketing, presentation, appeal to children, and manufacturing process. Potter ruled that the Jaffa Cake is a cake. McVities therefore won the case and VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes in the UK.[8]
