Teacake

The UK Treasury is facing a £3.5m bill because of VAT wrongly imposed on a Marks and Spencer teacake, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled.

Customers paid VAT for 20 years before the authorities accepted the product [wrongly classed as a biscuit] was a cake, which does not command VAT. [BBC]
