Can someone just clarify please if you can be charged VAT on deliveries as I have already paid for the goods and I thought it was the goods that you paid the VAT on!

to further add you pay vat on virtually everything
some food stuffs are exempt as in basic but processed or luxury foods you pay vat
for example chocolate is a luxury including biscuits that are coated
but a roast beef frozen dinner is not
kitchen towel is vat chargeable
but tampax and other essentials are exempt
wines and spirits are but milk is not

also gas and electric are unusually charged at 5% they used to be vat free but the tories introduce the minimum "tax " allowed in the late 70 or 80s i think it was :D

I think The Royal Mail have some tax exemptions on their delivery service, but that will change now the Liberals are going to privatise them. (Got blame them for something!)
 
Well I should have known really, they will be charging VAT on VAT someday!

they do already
they add duty to spirits and non domestic fuel then you pay vat on the total

if you shop at lidl and possibly other stores
your recipe tells you what is vat chargable and what is not
 
Hi Catlad,

Yes, almost everything these days with regards to services are now taxable, unfortunately :(
