flag Morrisons must pay £17M in VAT after UK court ruled its hot rotisserie chickens aren’t exempt from tax.

flag Morrisons must pay £17 million in VAT after a UK High Court ruled its rotisserie chickens are taxable at 20% because they remain hot when sold, despite being eaten cold by most customers. flag The court found the chickens stayed above ambient temperature for up to two hours due to heat-retaining packaging, disqualifying them from the "incidentally hot" exemption. flag HMRC had no clear guidance from 2012 to 2014, but the supermarket failed to disclose key packaging details. flag The decision affects other major retailers selling similar items.
