anyone bought any teacakes from M&S in the last 13 years...?

 

if so you might have a claim against them as you was overcharged :D

 

 

Marks and Spencer (M&S) has won a 13-year battle over the UK tax status of its chocolate-covered teacake.

M&S took action against the taxman, who charged £3.5m VAT on teacakes between 1973 and 1994, after having them wrongly classified as biscuits.

HMRC offered to refund £88,440.

In April 2008 the ECJ said that Marks and Spencer was entitled to a full refund, and on Wednesday the conclusion was not challenged in the Lords.

Lord Walker said the ECJ ruling left open some matters for the UK courts but that the customs commissioners had decided not to pursue them.

"After 13 years of litigation, we are pleased that this matter is now finally concluded," the company said in a statement.

Let me just find my reciept :)
