I happen to be watching some youtube regarding recipes, etc. Some of the presenters are from the UK and provide great recipes and ideas.
Any who, one presenter started talking about a new “tax on food” in the UK. I assume he meant grocery store food items. Apparently, the tax is supposed to help with the cost associated with recycling food packaging or something along those lines??
From watching other presenters like “Atomic Shrimp” (who is in the UK) I knew there was no tax on food, but it sounds like this is going to change.
Just curious about this… Anyone in the UK?? Opinions??
There’s tax on some types of food in the UK.
I think the news is that the rate is changing for some foods. Also, because food has become expensive, some people in Britain want the tax on foods lowered.
In Canada, we pay tax on more frivolous groceries, like junk food (candy and chips, chocolate milk) and highly processed foods (tv dinners, nuggets, frozen lasagna, chef boyardee, etc). No tax on flour, meat, bread, plain milk, fruit, etc.

Same here… I pay different percentages of tax on items, based on what they are.
That is good that your government does not tax basic items.
