I'm interested - what is exactly if the legal footing these and other
trade business enjoy to select customers? At the till, it's a VAT

I wondered too, different VAT rules might apply (e.g. retail schemes vs
cash&carry schemes) but legally preventing them selling to certain
customers? Sounds wrong to me ...
