Wetherspoon is having a 24-hour sale in all its pubs for today only, Thursday, September 19.
While the chain is well known for its low prices, today is the day to grab further discounts.
The reason for the sale is to demonstrate the benefits of lowering VAT in the hospitality industry, so food and drink prices will be reduced by 7.5 per cent all day today (Thursday).
This means, for example, if the total price of a meal and drinks for an individual came to £10, it will be reduced to £9.25 on Tax Equality Day, reports Plymouth Live .
Currently, all food and drink in pubs is subject to 20% VAT, compared to supermarkets which benefit from a zero VAT rate on all food.
This allows supermarkets to use such savings to sell alcohol at a discounted price.
Tim Martin, Wetherspoon's founder and chairman, said: "Pubs suffer a huge disadvantage, paying about 16 pence in business rates per pint versus about two pence for supermarkets.
"In addition, there is a huge VAT inequality and unfairness.
"A reduction in the level of VAT, on a long-term basis, will create a level playing field and generate growth and jobs in the important leisure and hospitality sector and help the high street, of which pubs form an integral part.
"Customers coming to our pubs on Thursday 19 September will find that the price of their food and drinks is lower than normal.
"We are keen to highlight the amount customers could save, if VAT in pubs were lowered permanently.
"We're aiming to make it the busiest day of the entire year in our pubs."
Items on the menu will still have the regular prices attached to them and the discount will be applied when you pay.
