Does anyone know if all pet products have VAT on? Just had an e-mail about beating the VAT increase. Doesn't seem right that medical items have VAT on, but I suppose pets are considered a luxury.

    Supplies for working animals (dogs etc.) are VAT free. Pets however are considered "luxury goods".

    If you own a dog and wish to buy items VAT free, you could try buying a food for "working dogs" to save money without compromising on quality.

    An interesting fact about Tax and VAT on animals is that the reason many breeds of dog originally had their tails docked was to avoid the tax placed on pets.
