๐ป SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY ๐ฝ๏ธ
Do you want to help protect your favourite pub, restaurant, cafรฉ, hotel or local venue? Do you want to support local jobs, thriving high streets and vibrant communities?
The hospitality industry is facing unprecedented cost pressures, yet the UK continues to charge one of the highest VAT rates in Europe at 20%.
That means every pint, meal out, coffee or overnight stay carries an extra 20% VAT. Compare that to many of our European neighbours:
๐ซ๐ท France โ 10%
๐ช๐ธ Spain โ 10%
๐ฎ๐น Italy โ 10%
๐ฉ๐ช Germany โ 7%
Hospitality businesses are the heart of our towns and villages. They create jobs, bring people together and provide vital community spaces.
Weโre calling on the Government to reduce VAT for hospitality to 10% and give the industry the support it urgently needs.
Please take a moment to sign the petition and share it with friends and family.
Together, we can make a difference.
