Good news for Marks and Sparks as it means the VAT paid since the launch of the VAT biscuit tax will have to be refunded (around £3.5m).
I'm not a big fan of the teacake and I would call it neither a biscuit nor a cake, more a glorified biscuit.
McVities are currently investigating the possibility that the Jaffa cake could also be misidentified as a biccie.
Tunnock's, the more popular version of the teacake is not the companies most popular product with the 'Caramel' selling over 4,000,000 bars per week.

We need a UN resolution on this.....
