I avoided tax yesterday, and bought the chocolate bar on the right.

Chocolate bars sold to eat: 20% VAT
Chocolate bars sold for cooking: 0% VAT

Even if exactly the same chocolate.

@danneidle

RRP is £2.50 😳

Even at Β£1.80 it’s still a bit of a rip off as if the difference was only VAT (at 20%) it should cost Β£1.60 πŸ€“

@TCMuffin @danneidle not quite, as the VAT would be 20% of the lower price, not the higher one. Should be Β£1.67, as Β£1.67x1.2=Β£2.00

@davidturnbull @danneidle

Good point, well made. Thank you πŸ™
