Hospitality is at the heart of our communities, creating jobs, bringing people together and helping our towns and high streets thrive. But many venues are struggling with rising costs.
The UK hospitality sector pays 20% VAT β one of the highest rates in Europe. Countries like France, Spain and Italy charge 10%, while Germany charges just 7%.
Weβre calling on the Government to reduce VAT for hospitality to 10% and give the sector the support it needs.
