Rishi Sunak has cut VAT on food, hospitality and tourism for the next six months.
Beginning from next Wednesday until January 12, VAT will be reduced from 20 per cent to five per cent on purchases including eat-in food, hotels, cinemas, theme-parks and zoos.
The Chancellor has also announced everyone will get "an eat out to help out discount" throughout August.
Meals will be half price for everyone in the country, at any participating business, Monday to Wednesday. A maximum discount of £10 per head, he says.
Businesses can register and claim the money back, with funds in their bank account within five working days, Mr Sunak promises.
