Vat refund on holiday bookings?

Having just paid for a week's caravan park holiday later this nonth, are we able to request 15% vat refund back from the park (given they'll only be charging 5%)?

    No, because the tax point was on the day you paid for it. This has been answered a few times now.

    If the level of VAT had gone up since you paid would you have been offering to pay more???

    No but I bet a lot of places would have asked for it.
