Will we see another VAT rise this year?

VAT is a tax we pay without thinking about it, that is until 'pastygate' when the government tried to make us pay 20% more for our pasties, pies and sausage rolls.

The story of pasty tax has been well documented in the media as have the new rules, which state that we must pay more for a pasty that lukewarm and sitting on a hot plate than if it's fresh out of the oven or just cooling (no, I didn't get it either).
