BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Teacake set to cost taxman £3.5m

The VAT man owes M&S £3.5 million because they classed teacakes as biscuits and not cakes!!! But the thing is the customers bought the teacakes the customers paid the VAT on them - so why give it back to M&S when it was the customers who paid it. If they do i hope m&s give it back to the customers somehow discounts on stuff etc

By the way would you class a chocolate teacake as a cake or a biscuit?
