Further to my blog last night on the dreaded pasty tax (VAT will now be applied to takeaway goods sold above ambient temperature). The man in charge of consultation (the poor bugger) is below and details of how to contact him, why not send him an email or write and explain how this will effect the Cornish pasty and take more taxes from Cornwall.

Additional ways to be involved:
HMRC is also happy to meet with and speak to other interested parties. Contact details are as above.

A summary of responses will be published and the responses considered before a final version of the legislation is laid before Parliament in the summer.

  3. All I can say to both of you is that I agree this is a disgraceful tax at the same time as the uber rich and corporations are enjoying tax breaks the Cornish will be hit by this raise to pay for the rich.
