The cumulative tax burden on hospitality is now unsustainable for too many and with global political and economic crises to navigate a change of approach is needed - cut VAT, reform rates and pause govt imposed energy charges
Our pubs, cafés and restaurants are the heartbeat of our communities, the places where we connect, celebrate and unwind. But right now, too many are at risk of closing their doors for good.
Sorcha Eastwood MP is backing a vital call to cut VAT for hospitality and the night-time economy, a simple, practical step that could help keep these local favourites alive.
With the Autumn Budget on the horizon, we need to send a strong message to Government.

Our industry wide survey shows a third of businesses cutting trading hours, two thirds cutting staff hours and employment levels and 1 in 7 closing sites - to make work pay, businesses need be viable, sustainable and investing. OBR forecast 50,000 job losses. It’s not too late
Another busy weekend for our @SWPVolunteers last week! As we get closer to #Freshers23 you’ll be seeing a lot more of them out working with @SWPCardiff #KeepingCardiffSafe#SaferStudents
We’ll have 2 Safety Buses working every single night from the 15th Sept to 1st Oct 🚌
Fantastic news.
Anyone who feels their venue would benefit from the extra security and piece of mind this brings please get in touch with Ian and the team.
We are loosing on a daily basis, many pubs, bars, restaurants, live music venues, nightclubs etc, all due to unsustainable energy costs.
Myself, @UKHospKate@UKHofficial @wearethentia are working collaboratively with legals to help save the sector.
Absolutely staggering. Welsh Government have let businesses down. This money would have saved many that have been closed for good. And helped many more through unnecessary hardship; imposed by @WelshGovernment own restrictions.
When so many tourism and hospitality businesses and those who work in the sector were struggling to survive Covid lockdowns, it is beyond belief that the Welsh Government effectively denied them support https://t.co/ECuvGIzOkw

Brexit Pubs Guarantee - Chancellor increases lower duty rate for beer sold in pubs. An 11p differential - need to see full duty rates post August to understand % difference but substantially higher than previously announced.
