Value Added Tax.

Originally a tax on luxury items. Currently 17.5% for most things, although there is a 5% rate for some stuff, and 0% for the (very few) things that the Government? still decrees aren't luxuries.

: ...children's clothing, cake...

Books.

There is a difference between items on which VAT is charged at 0% (zero-rated) and items to which VAT does not apply at all. [Insert more details here].

There is? InlandRevenue is mysteeeerious. --Vitenka

: It's the EU? (or perhaps EEC?) you have to blame for that.
