Suspend VAT on all hot takeaway food during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Currently, all hot take away food is subject to VAT at the standard rate (20%). This should be suspended for the duration of the Pub/Restaurant/Cafe shutdown in the UK. This will immediately reduce the price of all take away orders by 20% without impacting the business selling the food.
To help the catering industry during this very challenging period and the general public by reducing the cost of take away food.
