Hospitality across the country is under enormous pressure.
Rising energy costs. Food inflation. Huge
employment costs. Unjust business rates.
The highest tax burden in the UK economy.
And on top of all of that — a 20% VAT rate is resulting in an average of, around 14 pubs close for good each week in the UK!
Spearheaded by Celebrity Chef Tom Kerridge
VAT’s the Problem is a campaign calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
