VAT on Baby Milk

[daisp]

Does anyone know the VAT on baby milk powder? Zero rate or standard rate?

Thanks a lot!

 

[Scalloway]

It is zero rated as a food

Ah, but what of the mother's milk used to make ice cream and sold by the portion for consumption on the premises, (as last month in Covent Garden)?

 

[Scalloway]

Ice cream is a luxury food so VAT at 20% is payable.
