UK Court Rules Pringles are Potato-light

A British High Court judge has ruled that Pringles are not a potato snack and therefore not subject to 17.5% VAT.

The judge, Justice Nicholas Warren, overruled a Value Added Tax (VAT) Tribunal decision that imposed the 17.5% tax which is also applied on other potato products.

Pringles’ owner Procter & Gamble had claimed at a ruling in May that Pringles do not feel, look, or taste like a crisp (refered to as ‘chips’ in the United States).

Warren ruled that since Pringles are only 42% potato, it is exempt from this tax, therefore possibly saving Pringles’ owner millions of dollars.
