VATs THE PROBLEM ‼️
We need the industry to come together and make some noise. Across the UK, pubs, restaurants, cafés and hotels are working harder than ever just to stand still. Rising wages, rising energy costs, rising business rates, rising supplier costs… and yet we continue to be taxed at 20% VAT while many European countries recognise hospitality as a vital part of their economy and support it accordingly.
Please click the link below and sign the petition and share it with your colleagues, teams, suppliers and fellow hospitality businesses.
Pubs are more than places to eat and drink. They’re meeting places, support networks, employers, fundraisers, music venues, sports hubs and the beating heart of countless communities.
Together, we're pushing for a reduction in VAT to 10% - not for a handout, but to help protect jobs, support growth and secure the future of hospitality across the UK.
