Oh I know and in his speech to Parliament the Chancellor clearly said it was up to the operator whether or not they pass it on to the consumer.

Personally though I think there were better ways of doing this than reducing a consumption tax. If it was simply designed to help the operator other taxes could have been reduced without involving the customer.

As a consumer I’d be more inclined to support the business/property that’s advertising that they are passing the reduction on at the moment if I were to be honest. The reduction is that much it’s noticeable when you are spending say £200-£300 or so on a weekend or mini break and whilst personally I’ve been lucky enough to have worked right through the lockdown and seen no change in income many haven’t been as fortunate so it’s not just the businesses that are struggling. It’s a two way street in my opinion particularly when it involves consumer taxes.

Merely my opinion of course.
