Our pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, leisure venues, nightclubs and many more, are at the heart of our communities. From a day out with your kids to a night out with friends, hospitality brings people together.
They bring people together and bring life to our cities, towns and villages, but they're under huge pressure from rising costs.
In the UK, you pay one of the highest VAT rates in Europe. 20% extra in VAT for your meal out or stay away. In France, Spain and Italy, it's 10%. In Germany? 7%.
Our message to Government is simple. Let's stand together to say VAT at 10% is fair for hospitality.
Supporting this campaign is about supporting the future of British hospitality.
