5.5% – Cheaper French restaurant meals from 1st July

La Reserve, Amboise

The French government announced on Tuesday 28th April that the reduction of TVA (vat) on restaurant meals from the current 19.6% to 5.5% will start on 1st July. See Euractiv here and La Nouvelle République.

Despite speculation that some restaurateurs will not be passing on the reduction to their customers, I think there will surely be some reductions, whether it will be the full TVA cut is another matter. There is a French government site that may keep us informed about what is likely to happen.
