VAT’s the problem!
We’re supporting the campaign, spearheaded by and backed by UKHospitality, calling for VAT for hospitality to be cut to 10%.
Hospitality businesses are the heartbeat of our towns, villages and communities, but right now, many are being squeezed from every angle.
Rising costs, staffing pressures, business rates, National Insurance, energy bills and VAT all add up.
For independent pubs, cafés, restaurants, hotels and food businesses, the pressure is real.
A lower VAT rate would give hospitality businesses more breathing space, helping them to invest in their teams, improve their venues, keep prices fair for customers and continue playing such an important role in local communities.
We work with independent hospitality businesses every day, and we see how hard they work, how much they care, and how much they contribute.
Hospitality doesn’t need more pressure.
It needs backing.
Support the campaign, sign the petition, the link is in our bio 👆🏼and help give independent hospitality businesses the fairer footing they deserve.
