- The DGT has issued new guidance on the VAT rate for bread.
- The guidance follows a recent Supreme Court ruling.
- The DGT previously held that the 4% super-reduced VAT rate only applied to common bread, not special bread.
- The Supreme Court ruled that excluding special bread from the super-reduced rate violated the principle of VAT neutrality.
- The DGT now agrees that special bread, including products like sliced bread and hamburger buns, can be taxed at the 4% super-reduced rate when intended for human consumption.
