Lest we forget, newspapers+magazines get state subsidy in shape of 20% VAT exemption, whereas digital media is full rate. Is that fair?
@psmith @Paullomax That's a ridiculous argument. That's like saying Gov isn't getting £650bn from Tesco not applying VAT to food.

@bazzacollins@psmith Difference is most of the stuff you make food out of is zero rated too. -
@paullomax@psmith Newspapers/mags not taxed because it was (rightly) viewed as a tax on knowledge. -
@bazzacollins@paullomax I'm all against not taxing knowledge. Just wish digital products were charged at the same rate.
