The 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗩𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝘂𝘁 just got more guidance from HMRC — and if you sell children’s meals, tickets or family attractions, the details matter. ⚠️

From 25 June to 1 September 2026, qualifying supplies can benefit from a 𝟮𝟬% → 𝟱% VAT reduction.

But there’s a catch… 👀

🔹 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀: Only eligible elements qualify for 5%
🔹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀: The reduced rate applies only when all elements are eligible
🔹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Special rules apply to advance payments received between 3 June and 25 June 2026
🔹 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲: Continue using your existing percentage
🔹 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿’𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲: The temporary reduced rate does not apply

⏰ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝟭 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿.

👉 Now is the time to review your pricing, packages, invoices and VAT systems to make sure you're applying the correct rate.
