The temporary 5% rate applies to the following supplies, but is not an exhaustive list:
- Catering, including hot takeaway food
- Accommodation in hotels, guest houses and similar places
- Tourist attractions such as theme parks, zoos, theatres and cinemas
Note that as far as catering is concerned, the 5% rate only applies to food and non-alcoholic drinks. The 20% rate continues to apply to alcoholic drinks.
