VAT is a cumbersome tax. It costs a small fortune to administer and is open to Humpty Dumpty interpretations. I would cheerfully get rid of the wretched thing and put a sales tax in its place, but then our masters in Brussels would be coughing up bloood!
I'd like to have been at the original meeting of the taxgatherers to hear their argument as to why such a fluffy concoction could pass as a biscuit. The Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch could be reworded along the lines "This teacake is a biscuit. No, it's not, it's a cake!"
What a world!
