In order to provide continuity for businesses, key measures including the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, Self-Employment Income Support Scheme, VAT cut extension, Business Rates Holiday, and Recovery Loan scheme do not end until September or after.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The extension to the temporary reduced rate of VAT (5 per cent) for the tourism and hospitality sector means that the relief will now end on 30 September 2021. On 1 October 2021, a new reduced rate of 12.5 per cent will be introduced for these goods and services to help businesses manage the transition back to the standard rate. The new rate will end on 31 March 2022.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>This relief has cost over £7 billion and has helped support the cash flow and viability of 150,000 businesses and protect over 2.4 million jobs. While the Government keeps all taxes under review, there are no plans to extend the reduced rate of VAT further.<\/p>"}
