| IT IS made from dough and it is definitely a bread, says the expert from Italy. The Australian Taxation Office, however, reckons it's a cracker, biscuit, wafer, crispbread or pretzel.
The Tax Office has millions riding on its ruling that the Perfetto Mini Ciabatte, an oven-baked ''flat bread'' imported from Italy and sold in supermarkets around Australia, is not really a bread.
Crackers, biscuits, wafers and pretzels are liable to the goods and services tax. So are crispbreads, the taxman argues. But bread is not.
