Questions and Answers

1.

What is the correct VAT treatment on the sale of Jaffa Cakes in one of the shops at an Anchor Hanover Group care village?
- A.
  
  Exempt - it's a supply to people in care
- B.
  
  Lower-rated (5%) - it's a fuel
- C.
  
  Standard-rated (20%) - it's a biscuit
- D.
  
  Zero-rated - it's a cake
Correct Answer
D. Zero-rated - it's a cake

Explanation
When the courts were determining this, they left a plate of cakes and biscuits out to see whether the Jaffa cake would go soft like a biscuit, or hard like a sponge cake.
The result… the Jaffa cake went hard and was therefore defined as a cake for VAT purposes.
Cakes are always zero rated regardless of whether they are topped with chocolate.
