Fruit, veg, cereals, nuts, pulses, raw meat and fish are among the 'healthy' foods that are zero rated for VAT. Though hauliers do charge VAT on delivery charges for carrying them.
Think it’s zero rated as opposed to exempt. (It seems like a past life when I last filled in a VAT return. From memory zero rated is even better than exempt…because, like exempt, it means no VAT is charged on the output goods, but in addition it’s allowed to be offset against input tax.)
Do you have VAT on these in the UK? I did not think you did
