Just in case you weren't confused enough about the new Pasty tax.

Dear old Aunty has produced a chart to help[^]. The chart itself is clear enough but the 'rules' are horrendously complex and I foresee another Jaffa cake/biscuit farrago some time in the near future.
Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is. Cogito ergo thumb - Sucking my thumb helps me to think.

One of the main idiots who came up with this tax was asked by some other politician: "When was the last time you bought a pasty from Greggs?" and he replied with "I can't remember." To which the other politician said: "That just about sums it up, dosen't it?".

Another daft initiative. I remember the showdown between HMRC and the makers of Pringles. I recall the argument was to do with tax collected on normal crisps but Pringles were exempt because theirs were processed mulch, not deep-fried and so were exempt because they were not completely crisp-like. I think the makers eventually lost the case. It opened the door for some truly ridiculous examples for VAT collection (UK food is mostly exempt). The pasty tax was one such decision. It's astonishing that somewhere in the UK government or food related ministry there is a committee that sat down and gave serious thought to it while drawing serious salaries.

hey why is it OK for Gregs to sell hot pasties Vat free while the kebab shop next door pays Vat? The idea was to level the playing field of some of the unfairness of the original tax law, but like all tax someone isnt going to like it
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

Here, they call it a pole tax. But the club owners have (so far) refused to pay it, mostly by making all the bars "private" clubs (memberships available at the door). What? Oh.
