Restaurant services and taxable accommodation
Restaurant and catering services excluding drinks attract 12 %. Takeaway food needs a separate assessment of the product and associated services; it is not automatically a restaurant service.
From 1 March 2026, taxable furnished accommodation, with or without breakfast, and camping pitches attract 12 %. This rate change does not make an exempt letting taxable. The tax point and transitional conditions still matter.
Less doubt. More clarity.
