I looked at my Tesco receipt the other day, and noticed some items had a little * by them whereas the rest did not.
What do they mean, please?

Hi,
It denotes items that are chargable for tax. (exempt or zero-rated items are not marked with an asterisk)
Have a look at http://www.direct.gov.uk/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Taxes/BeginnersGuideToTax/BeginnersGuideToTaxArticles/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4015895&chk=8gHIJf
or

which explains that, and then you can view;

or

which is a full list of zero rated items. "Group 1" in the "Schedule 8" section deals with Foodstuffs, and explains what foods are chargable and which are not;

Basically, to you and me, foodstuff like Cereals, which are considered "essentials" are zero rated, but Ice-Cream which is considered non-essential (Except me, where Carte D'or's "Lavazza Latte Macchiato" Coffee flavour is concerned!) is chargeable.
HTH

I AM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THIS! its all over the TV and just about everywhere you go. No it is not that i'm heartless and completely cold but because the parents are to blame entirely. I am not a parent but i sure as hell wouldn't leave my YOUNG children alone in a completely different country, and yet people are making out as if they're smart individuals...clearly not - they are lacking common sense. I do feel sad that such a young child had been neglected and has suffered because of that..I believe that they are unfit as parents and the other children should be taken into care. Remember any other cases of neglect? Jamie Bulger, for example, left alone while his mother was 'busy' shop lifting.

I think it means that the item was on sale or on special offer such as buy one, get one free

It means that they are non essential items and have tax added.
