Yes in the UK there are. There is a standard rate at 17.5%, a reduced rate
for domestic power at 8% (might actually be 5% now) and a zero rate for
books, childrens cloths food (but not prepared food in a restaurant) and a
few other things. There are several areas I can think of where mixed rates
are applied already.

The problem for me lies in the fact that we duplicate the CDs ourselves.
We tried using external companies for this and the failure rates on the
finished product were just too high (100% in one case!).

This means that the only item that really should be VAT chargable is the
CD media itself which is only 1/5 of the price!
