Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

hi. Iv just registered my business and am wondering if cakes are still zero rated for VAT and if it’s still recommended to register for vat ASAP as your pro video was 4 years ago.

Many thanks

Hi cheekyjuju

Definitely register for VAT straight away. Cake is zero rated if you buy it in a shop of any description, including a takeout cafe eg Costas, provided it is not consumed on the premises. VAT is only added if you sit in to eat it.
As a home baker VAT is not applicable unless you have a tea-room attached and are registered for VAT.
