Smoking cessation products

"Over the counter" sales of smoking cessation products, such as chewing gum and patches, will be taxed at the reduced rate of VAT (5%) with effect from 1 July 2007 for a period of one year.
 

Our view
This temporary reduction in the VAT rate from 1 July 2007 coincides with the introduction of the smoking ban in public places in England.
