New Year, New Price For LT??

Just wondered if LT was going to increase in price due to the VAT increase?

Anyone been given any info on this or will it remain the same price?

Thought this arrival may help.... I take this as no vat on shakes or soup or flap jacks... Only on the bars mentioned below....

" we operate a Weight Loss Store where we provide meal replacement products that replace conventional zero rated foods for weight loss and our products include shakes, soups & bars and have to date not charged our clients any VAT on these products as we do not get charged VAT from the manufacturer and also no other meal replacement company similar to us, ie Lighterlife, Cambridge Diet, Lipotrim, etc charge VAT for their food products sold .

We were recently visited by the HMRC who now state that all Meal Replacement Bars that include any added glucose, fruit or are covered in chocolate (which basically means all Meal Replacement Bars from us and other companies already mentioned and more) are a confectionary product and are therefore should be standard rated vat at 17.5% / 20%

Hope that helps lol

I've just called my pharmacy. I struggle to pay for it as it is. So inquired.

She said it should still be the same price. In my case £36 as no VAT is added to it.
However she said they may have to raise the price if the company decide to, but they have had no notification of this. So as far as she is aware the price will continue to be £36.

*******s! Confectionary? My arse......as Jim Royle would say!
