Reeves’s Tax Cut on Children’s Meals a Political 'Soundbite', Say Restaurateurs The UK government's latest attempt to alleviate the cost of living crisis is its temporary reduction in VAT on children's meals in restaurants from 20% to 5%.

However, restaurateurs have expressed skepticism about the measure, questioning whether it will truly benefit families or provide meaningful relief for businesses.
