Teacake Wrangle

The European Court of Justice has ruled that British retailer, Marks & Spencer, can claim back £3.5mln in overpaid VAT on teacakes. For years, the British authorities defined a chocolate teacake as a biscuit- which attracts a sales tax- rather than a cake, which does not. So when is a cake not a biscuit?

Teacakes are made of a shortbread base, a marshmallow filling and a chocolate shell. The British tax authorities decided it was a biscuit, a luxury food liable to sales tax. The supermarket insisted it was a cake, a basic food which is exempt from tax.

The argument has been through many courts and the latest decision has been on the cake side of the argument. Marks & Spencer should get a tax refund, said the judge.
