    Ah.... now for a bit of controversy! (Is it a cake or is it a biscuit?)

    Jaffa cakes! But not only the 'normal' orange ones, but raspbery ones - you really cannot eat just one!

    I know they have just been to court v the Tax Man about the cake/biscuit thing, but I can't remember the outcome!!

    Submariners seldom cheat, and NEVER lie!

    Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?

    I know they have just been to court v the Tax Man about the cake/biscuit thing, but I can't remember the outcome!!

    In United Biscuits v HM Customs and Excise VAT Tribunal (1991), Potter QC found for United Biscuits, ie he agreed that Jaffa Cakes are cakes, which meant that they could be zero-rated for VAT, as opposed to chocolate-coated biscuits, on which VAT would have been payable.

    HM Customs and Excise argued that Jaffa Cakes are the size of biscuits, packaged as biscuits, eaten with fingers like biscuits, and kept on the biscuit shelf at the supermarket.

    United Biscuits countered that a biscuit goes soft when stale, whereas a Jaffa Cake, like a cake, goes hard. The company also maintained that size was of secondary importance, offering as evidence a specially prepared 12-inch Jaffa Cake.
