Which countries, then? Where has this been implemented where it hasn't cost them an absolute fortune in legal fees and added admin costs?
Or are you just making shit up?
Canada.
Since you only provides a single example I only need to do the same. Or are you making shit up?
Look at that, cases over weird edge cases.
Another court case.
Oh look, another one.
Starting to think this will be an expensive pain in the ass.
None of those have anything to do with food exemptions. We have been specifically talking about zero-rating produce. No-one is arguing that we should start zero-rating other things, or that certain jurisdictions have complex tax code.
You, and others, are trying to argue that GST exempt produce will be frought with troubles, but the only example you have provided is that one court case in the UK.
