I spent 2 nights in a hotel this week for work - I’m already paying 20% in VAT and now govt is proposing another tax with additional VAT on top. The £22.40 additional tax adds to cost of living. No new taxes #cutvat https://t.co/IPoxyRfbth

This is urgent for hospitality sector, especially in Northern Ireland.

The UK pays one of the highest hospitality VAT rates in Europe, second only to Denmark, putting our industry at a disadvantage and making it harder for people to support their local businesses.

We need action! Get involved in our #TaxedOut campaign:

60% of hospitality businesses are cutting jobs, 75% have increased prices and 2/3 are reducing staff hours.

"These cuts are a last ditch attempt by businesses just to stay afloat" @sarahjolney1 MP for Richmond Park told Parliament last week.

Hospitality is being #TaxedOut.

[Historic Houses @Historic_Houses]

Last month our Director General @Ben_CowellDG & NI Chair and joint owner of @Larchfield Gavin Mackie met Minister @gordonlyons1 to discuss the current realities for Historic Houses members in Northern Ireland 👇

[Historic Houses @Historic_Houses]

@Ben_CowellDG @claire_fx1 @Larchfield Have a look at some photos from the day below⬇️

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

Today in #PMQs, two big hospitality issues were raised:

1. Tax rises costing 89k hospitality jobs. We need to fix NICs.

2. The importance of business rates reform, where we need the maximum discount for hospitality.

[Square Bistro @squarebistro]

This is the hard truth behind why we are getting screwed from our government…… stopping growth, stopping us investing in our team and most of all putting us out of business… the stats from all these other countries don’t lie @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP

[UKHospitality @UKHofficial]

New figures show hospitality lost 69,000 jobs since the Budget. The year before, the sector created 18,000.

@UKHospKate told @thetimes the Gov't needs to fix NICs to boost jobs by extending exemptions to include people moving from welfare to work. https://t.co/ALts9Qj0Ax

“We were clear at the time that the changes to NICs were a tax on jobs, and so it is sadly proving.”

@UKHospKate told @guardian after more than 100,000 jobs were lost across the economy in April. We need to see urgent action to change NICs.

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

Not just our pubs but also neighbourhood restaurants, independent hotels and mucus venues. The driven by the costs of doing business outstripping demand or undermining investment - it has to change

[Larchfield Estate @Larchfield]

@thetimes Such a fantastic couple and we were delighted to help coordinate and host such a unique wedding (and all their guests!) at Larchfield Estate.
