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.

Making Tax Digital due to roll out from April 2022

There are big changes afoot, as far as filing tax returns and VAT returns are concerned. Currently, only those above the VAT threshold (Currently set at £85000) are required by law to submit their VAT Returns via MTD compliant software. From April 2022 , this changes to include those registered for VAT voluntarily ie below the threshold. If this includes you and you are worried about what this means and how to go about making the leap on to MTD software, please contact me on 07380667005 for a no obligation chat.

Every quarter (3 months) income and expenses for the business will need to be submitted to HMRC using MTD software.
