The Government has announced a temporary reduction in the standard VAT rate of 20% to only 5% on certain children's meals, family attraction tickets and children's entertainment admissions between 25th June and 1st September 2026.
The measure, introduced through HMRC's Revenue & Customs Brief 5 (2026), aims to help families manage the cost of summer activities while encouraging spending across the hospitality and leisure sectors.
