Epos Now Helps UK Businesses Prepare for Great British Summer Savings Surge

NORWICH, UNITED KINGDOM, June 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Epos Now, a leading provider of complete point of sale solutions for hospitality, retail, and enterprise businesses, has today announced its support for the Government’s new Great British Summer Savings initiative, designed to help families enjoy more affordable days out while boosting spending across the UK.

As businesses prepare for higher transaction volumes and increased operational complexity

linked to the temporary VAT changes, Epos Now is helping operators manage the transition with flexible, cloud-based point-of-sale technology designed to simplify compliance, streamline operations and enhance customer experiences.

The temporary VAT reduction scheme, running from 25 June 2026 to 1 September 2026, will reduce VAT from 20% to 5% on eligible children’s meals, entertainment tickets and attraction admissions across the UK. The measures are expected to drive higher demand across restaurants, cafés, cinemas, leisure venues and family attractions during the peak summer season.

Government-led demand stimulus combined with rising footfall means operators need to be agile — those who can update pricing, manage compliance and serve customers seamlessly will see the biggest gains. Epos Now was built for exactly these moments.”
