Fantastic news for the hospitality industry, and those that use it.

I may be sceptical but how many of these sites will pass it on to their customers?

ZERO. Prices have already doubled

Does that mean our Pizza’s next week are cheaper

I'd be happy for them to keep it personally. Been a tough year for everyone in lots of different services industries.

Yea it’s not necessarily designed to help us, but more to help them by reducing their tax bill.

Unless they put the prices up before the VAT reduction starts, how can they not? It's not like they can change the customer the normal 20% and only pay the 5%

If they put their prices as “£x inc vat” they can just carry on charging the same and just pay less VAT. Or they can put their prices up at the same time, either way they’re free not to pass it on, and who can blame them, 15% means sod all to the holiday maker but collectively could keep the campsite in business
