Subway previously absorbed the VAT tax themselves, but have now kindly decided to pass the charge onto its customers with diners having to pay 20% more for any hot takeaway food.

The average six-inch sub currently costs £3.49 but with the additional heated tax, that could now rise to £4.18.

Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "So @SUBWAY have started to charge you more for toasting your sandwich. I've heard it all now," while someone else said: "Nah Subway charging you extra to get your sandwich toasted BLOODY DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!"

In a statement, a spokesperson for Subway said: "Since changes to VAT in 2012 (the pasty tax) Subway has repeatedly tried to challenge the law in order to protect the customer.

"Subway franchisees have been absorbing the VAT cost, charging a single price for food, whether hot or cold or eat-in or take-away.

"The dual-pricing menu is similar to what customers see on other high-street chain menus, which ensures that customers pay the lowest price for products which do not attract VAT.

"Subway stores are individually owned and operated, store owners set their own prices and they may vary."

Subway are currently trialling menus that charge customers separately for VAT in its West Midlands branches.

Back in 2012, a 'pasty tax' proposal saw the government implement a tax at 20% for hot takeaway food.
