When is a cake not a cake? When is a biscuit not a cookie?
When it costs you 7 million dollars in tax

I really want to eat whatever is in that picture.
It's a TeaCake. Marshmallow on a Biscuit coated in milk chocolate. They are very common and popular in the UK. Lovely they are.
good thing i'm no longer in that racket. at least not for some time yet. i'm back on the writing kick. i might actually get one of my novels completed before years end. *woohoo*

what the hell is VAT?
VAT = Value Added Tax Wiki Entry
Certain items are exempt, as they are deemed essential items. Sugar, Tea, Bread, Coffee.
Yeah, Tunnock's Tea Cake, I love them. I had them once and when my friend came to Japan from London I had him bring me 3 boxes.

mmm. those are called mallowpuffs in nz, havent found anything like em in australia apart from a few el-cheapo things that are similar but taste like rusted ass.
Yup, we get cheaper ones here too, but Tunnocks are the best. Damn! Now I sound like an advert for them.
That is the most ludicrous fucking tax I've head all day. It fucking sucks it sucks the fuck and I don't like it.
Yes, but do you pay Sales tax on Books? VAT is not charged on books and most non-luxury foods.
in canada everything is taxed...usually twice
We have something similar to TeaCakes in Canada/U.S., except they are called Viva Puffs and you can also get them with a chocolate or raspberry or caramel filling. I used to work for the company that made them.
Not since the books I buy are either 2nd hand or over the net. Though as always the government wants to tax the net which may be another bush fuck up before he is out.:thumb:Quote:
