A cake as because...

When a biscuit goes 'stale' it goes soggy

When a cake goes 'stale' it goes hard

Jaffa cakes are therefore indeed cakes

Cos they put them in funny boxes that stack best with the biscuits.

Hmrc took mcvities to court wanting to charge vat claiming they were a biscuit. To prove a point mcvities brought out a larger cake sized Jaffa cake

Judge ruled that they are a cake.

So Jaffa cakes by legal definition are definitely a cake

It has been proven in court that they are a cake. Britain charges value added tax on biscuits covered in chocolate but not chocolate covered cakes so they had to prove Jaffa cakes were indeed cakes and not biscuits in disguise

Just around the corner

Don't forget chocolate tea cakes. HMRC lost a 13 year case against M&S, who proved that the comestible in question was a cake and therefore exempt from VAT.

London

Same type of story as Pringles.

The makers tried to say Pringles were not crisps as they were made up of only 42% potato and as such did not have to pay VAT. Court of appeal said, no they are crisps.

by name and law a cake, but why when you open a packet with the intention of having a couple do you end up eating most the packet.

"A biscuit or a cake? "

Cake! This was decided by court some time ago in a row over vAT (which is on biscuits [sweets] but not cakes[food]).

They are cakes because they go HARD when stale. Biscuits go SOFT. Simples...

Yes, we remember that. Of course everyone who had paid the VAT got a refund, didn't they. I mean HMRC wouldn't keep illegally obtained money would they ?

East Manchester

The definition of a cake and a biscuit which was thrashed out in a court of law to determine HMRC'S case was based on its state after a period of time had elapsed. according to the law:-

A cake goes hard if stale.

And

A biscuit goes soft when it is stale.

Don't know what a jaffa cake is though because they don't last long enough to discover if they go hard or soft if left too long.
