Last week, the government announced that VAT would be cut from 20 per cent to five per cent for hotels, restaurants and some attractions.
The hope is that the businesses affected will chose to pass these cuts onto their customers, meaning meals and staycations get cheaper.
So far, several restaurant chains - including McDonald's - have announced price drops to reflect the new rates.
The VAT cuts will last for six months until January 12, 2021, so hopefully the McDonald's price cuts will be in place until then.
McDonald's has also announced that it is trialling dine-in options at four stores across the UK.
These are located in Derby, Cross Cheaping in Coventry, Doncaster Road in Scunthorpe as well as Tallaght in the Republic of Ireland.
The dine-in pilot will offer table service only, and capacity will be reduced by as much as 70 per cent in some restaurants.
You will be able to order at the kiosk, at the till or at your table using the My McDonald's app and your food will be brought to your table.
When dine-in is back open, the VAT price reductions will still apply.
McDonald's has also said it would like to take part in the "eat out to help out" government scheme once it is open.
Wetherspoons is spreading the cuts across food items, coffee, soft drinks and ale with some items falling in price by up to 28 per cent.
KFC will reduce the price of sharing buckets by £1 and slash the cost of "fan favourites" by 50p.
Nando’s slashes prices of menu favourites as it passes on VAT cut to customers.
