Surrey attractions welcome summer VAT cut on tickets and food

Plans to cut prices at family attractions over the summer holidays will be a “wonderful initiative” to help more people visit, a business has said.

Government plans coming into force on Thursday will cut VAT on some tickets to attractions in the UK, with the discount expected to be passed on by businesses to customers.

James Robson, general manager of Birdworld in Farnham, Surrey, said that he hoped the move would make visiting easier for families with less money, but also called for a more lasting initiative to help attractions.

“This opens up accessibility to people who might be feeling the strain over the summer holidays,” he said.

“It’s a wonderful initiative that looks to provide a bit of tax relief through the summer holidays.

“It’s getting more and more expensive to run these attractions, and long term it would be good to see further relief.”
