Temporary VAT Changes This Summer on Children’s Menus and Family Leisure Activities
28/05/26
Is your business prepared for reductions in some VAT rates this summer?
The UK Government has announced the “Great British Summer Savings” which includes a temporary reduction of VAT from 20% to 5% on certain family attractions and children’s meals.
For businesses operating in the leisure, hospitality, and entertainment sectors, the practical VAT implications are potentially complex.
Early preparation is key to reducing the risk of non-compliance risk.
The Treasury has indicated an expectation that businesses will pass on VAT savings to consumers. While not a strict legal requirement, this creates a clear commercial and reputational consideration when deciding pricing strategy.
