How does Marks & Spencer plan to reimburse all its customers who paid VAT on teacakes?

Isn't it the end user (the customer) rather than the retailer (M&S) who is out of pocket due to teacakes being incorrectly rated?

How I've waited for this day.

It was not "unjust enrichment", despite what HMRC have been claiming for 16 years.
It isn't just a refund, it's an M&S refund.

Tricky one to answer.

M&S sold the cakes and the customers who bought them did so at the prices M&S marketed them at so a sale was agreed.

M&S then paid hmrc the VAT as a cost in the sale, so really it should be M&S who gets the VAT back.

Possibly/ but hard luck. not worth bothering about is it.

well i for one have cleverly been storing my teacake receipts for the last twenty years. bet you wish you were me.

dont hedge ya bets
