KFC, Nando's and McDonalds lower prices after VAT cut

From 15th July 2020, a temporary 5% VAT rate was granted to the hospitality sector by chancellor Rishi Sunak. It will run until 12th January 2021. 

It will be a positive boost to many industries, including the following: 

  • Cafes
  • Pubs
  • Restaurants
  • Holiday accommodation
  • theatres
  • circuses
  • fairs
  • amusement parks
  • concerts
  • museums
  • zoos
  • cinemas
  • exhibitions 

Nandos, Pret A Manger, KFC, Mcdonalds, Whetherspoon and Starbucks, have all made the decision to slash prices, giving up to 100% of the reduction in VAT on to their customers. (15% reduction)

Many other businesses will not pass on the reduction to their customers, instead choosing to use this to buffer themselves after the losses suffered through to COVID-19.

Online grocery sales are up by 5.3% compared to the beginning of the pandemic, and non grocery sales are up by 53.6%. Although this news is extremely positive, over all retail sales have fallen 15% on pre-pandemic levels. Still, the only way is up! Retail is on the up!
