Especially when you ' re a pretty good player of spin . <| sep |> probably nothing i said makes any kind of senseremove probably and it ' s the only correct and real thing you wrote in your nonsensical tirade . i didn ' t respond because what you wrote is not worth responding as you still don ' t understand and you still make up nonsensical excuses and use logical fallacies in almost every sentence <| sep |> A redcoat lying , what a shocker . <| sep |> UK has no VAT on most food hot take away food or food in a restaurant will have VAT on it , but most food in a supermarket will not . Jaffa cakes was an interesting example . Whether they were classified as a biscuit or a cake changed whether they would be VAT rated or not . McVites wanted them to be zero rated so they would be cheaper . In the end , it came down to how they went stale . I ' m not sure of 0 % food is one of the items that was grandfathered in for UK VAT in the EU VAT legislation or if it applies to every EU country . It may be under the low rate no less than 5 % in other countries .
