Chef and publican Tom Kerridge is spearheading the campaign, calling for a fairer 10% VAT rate for hospitality.
Hospitality is the heart of our communities, providing jobs, supporting local suppliers, creating opportunities, and bringing people together. Many European countries recognise this and support their hospitality sectors with lower VAT rates. The UK should do the same.
A reduced VAT rate would help protect businesses, safeguard jobs, encourage investment, and ensure pubs, restaurants, cafés and hotels can continue to thrive.
Please stand with the industry and sign the petition. Together, we can help secure a stronger future for hospitality.
