Who can actually afford to eat out at the moment anyway even with this voucher? My husband is still on furlough and we're only just managing to keep our heads above water as it is
A take away's expensive enough never mind a restaurant..I used to be able to do nearly a week's groceries for what my local Chinese charges now for a family of four,prices have definitely shot up..

My mum and dad treated us to a takeaway a few weeks ago. Dad transferred £15 in to my account but we're a family of 4 so that just about covered the chips

Can't wait to see the Coronavirus Megahotspots that places like this are going to turn into as everyone rushes there to get their £2.50 dinner

I assume meal vouchers only valid for eat in as many restaurents offered takeout too.
Actual takeways i guess not valid.

Honestly as a country we’ve all eaten way too much the last few months (me included) we don’t need to eat anymore

If its only valid tues-wed how does he think the restaurants are going to fit everyone in? Id rather have a chinese takeaway thanks to that thread.

Say you don’t feel well/have to urgently return home after getting an urgent text/phone call. Ask for food to be put in a doggy bag.

My mum's gutterd about the shopping vouchers. Did anyone actually think that was going to happen?
Another case of the press running away with things before it's announced.

My understanding is eat out (sit in the restaurant or associated outdoor seating).

You will still pay stamp duty, as it’s only up to 500k that it has been scrapped.
Have they confirmed whether the first 500k is exempt? So on a 550k property you would pay stamp duty on the remaining 50k or is it 501k stamp duty due is applied to the whole amount?
 
My father in law is having a hip replacement in the next few weeks. He's not being tested but he is having to self isolate for 2 weeks beforehand.

Surely same rules would apply and you would only pay duty on the 50k?
