So what I wanted to ask here is - are those things currently in the luxury bracket and hence VATable?

Floppy commented 7 years ago

Realised the wording here leaves a little to be desired as we're particularly talking about VAT.

Floppy commented 7 years ago

Wording in the original, that is.

ghost commented 7 years ago

Whether it is or isn't currently, it's still a good statement to make, but the original needs to me reworded to be more formal and policy-like.

This will be automatically merged shortly; I'll try to remember to follow up with a proposal just tidying up the wording a little and perhaps moving some bits into a footnote.
