Bitter-sweet rules on chocolate very taxing for Cumbrian shoppers

When does the price of a bow tie take the biscuit? When it’s in chocolate on a gingerbread man.

Have your say

Michael Owen: I have to echo John's comment - what has UK VAT law got to do with the EU? Does your contribution represent the official Carlisle UKIP position on chocolate cakes and is it in line with The Great Farage's own thinking on VAT, chocolate and the great EU anti-British chocolate biscuit conspiracy?

so if we want to be tax free on our chocolate biscuits,we wont buy them.but if the entire generations of people in the uk do that,we can say by-by to our biscuit industries,and bakers.

EU says "jump" we say " how high". This country can no longer act independently on any issues which relate to common sense

It really is time that the UK tax system was sorted out properley and made very simple, but these days we cannot do anything without the EU, and no doubt we will have to fall in line with what the commissars in Brussels tell us.

A good reason for not eating chocolate and biscuits! Use the cash for healthier foods.

Mr Tax man you tax me on my clothes I wear for work, my petrol to get to work, my car I drive to get to work, the road tax for the road I use to get to work, the shoes I wear to walk from my car to work,my wages I earn to pay for my poll tax and now you want to tax me on my flaming chocolate biscuit I eat at work, why not take all my wages and give me £5 back at the end of my working week?? because thats all I end up with! rip off britain strikes again.
