News & Events
The summer holidays promise a fun-filled time for the family but trips out and treats can be expensive. The Great British Summer Savings scheme is designed to help cut the costs. The Government has reduced VAT on eligible activities from 20% to 5% across the country and expects businesses to pass these savings on to customers. This means many attractions, activities and meals out will be cheaper.
