If you don’t want pubs to become a thing of the past then please sign!!!
Vat rates in other countries:
🇮🇹 Italy: 10%
🇪🇸 Spain 10%
🇩🇪 Germany 7%
🇫🇷 France 10%
🇮🇪 Ireland 9%
The UK’s VAT rate on hospitality is 20% - the highest in Europe.
At the current financial rate you WILL lose many more pubs. ‘Might’ is no longer a thing… you WILL start watching the industry come to an end.

📢 PLEASE SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN FOR HOSPITALITY 📢
As many of you know, our industry continues to face increasing costs and financial pressures. A new nationwide campaign, backed by leading hospitality figures including Tom Kerridge, is calling on the Government to reduce VAT for hospitality businesses from 20% to 10%, bringing the UK more in line with many European countries.
This could make a significant difference to pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and hotels across the country, helping to protect jobs, support investment and safeguard the future of our industry.
