The first phase of the reduced rate of VAT for hospitality, hotel and holiday accommodation and admission to certain attractions is due to end today (30th September). From 1st October 2021, the new VAT rate of 12.5% will be introduced and will remain in effect until 31st March 2022. Visit the Gov website for more information.
Contactless Limit Change
The contactless limit is changing, from 15th October the contactless limit will be increased to ยฃ100 from ยฃ45, for sterling only.
