its nothing to do with the EU actually. was a high court ruling in a case against HM revenue and customs over VAT payments. VAT was payable on chocolate covered biscuits but not on cakes.

thought it went to appeal blah From The TimesApril 11, 2008

'''It took 20 years for Customs & Excise (now HM Revenue & Customs) to acknowledge their mistake and eventually admit that teacakes were really chocolate cakes after all. This was in spite of a European legal case had already ruled that Jaffa cakes were cakes, and not, as had been classified, biscuits. ''
