- The UK Court of Appeal ruled that Mega Marshmallows need further review to determine if they are “sweetened prepared food which is normally eaten with the fingers”.
- This classification could result in the marshmallows being subject to standard VAT rates as confectionery.
- The Court of Appeal ruled that the manufacturer failed to prove that the marshmallows aren’t “normally eaten with the fingers”.
- The case returns to the FTT to determine if Mega Marshmallows are normally eaten with the fingers.
- If they are, they will be standard-rated for VAT; if not, they may retain their zero-rated status.
