Key takeaway from this article:

Manchester BID openly admits to using the £2.8m raised through this tax to fund campaigns targeting off season visitors, so let’s face it that will be mostly online advertising.

Great business for Silicon Valley, not so good for the UK economy.

To all our lovely visitors we say

“please write to your MP, tell them what you think about holiday tax”

However low this new levy is set, it will be charged on top of 20% VAT, making UK holidays even more heavily taxed than all European holiday destinations (for example 10% VAT on Italian holidays)
