Diversifying your rural business - benefit from ever-changing VAT rules

Many rural businesses have diversified, or are considering diversifying, into hospitality and leisure activities as an additional income stream. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a temporary 5% reduced rate of VAT for hospitality and tourism activities. This period of reduced VAT is coming to an end on 30 September 2021, with a new 12.5% reduced rate applying from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022.
