Tax tribunal says product should incur VAT as it looks and is packaged like crisps, and holds limited dip
It’s crunch time for Walkers after a ruling that the company must pay VAT on its mini poppadoms because they are really more like crisps.
The manufacturer had argued that the sales tax should not apply to its bags of Sensations Poppadoms as they were not crisps – which are on a special list of snack foods subject to the levy alongside ice-cream, chocolate-covered biscuits and cereal bars.
