@Sacha_Lord@peterkyle@_CallumAnderson This government is trying right all the wrongs in one term. Putting the country in so much pain all at once was only going to end one way. https://t.co/OdTuzvQ8dh
@andyjlennox@greatorex If they continue to ignore , it could do with a mass weekend strike/closure of hospitality to demonstrate the importance of the industry. The unfortunate thing is a coordinated action on such a scale is difficult to organise and even more difficult to bring everyone with it
This would go such a long way to help once thriving businesses come back and help out the 18-25 year olds. This sector is being hammered and ignored. Treated as an endless tax paying machine. #VATsTheProblem
Proud to support the #VATsTheProblem@cheftomkerridge@ukhospitality campaign.
Hospitality is not asking for a handout. We’re asking for a level playing field.
Across much of Europe, hospitality benefits from a reduced rate of VAT because governments recognise the value the sector brings to jobs, communities, tourism and local economies. In the UK, we remain one of the most heavily taxed hospitality sectors in Europe despite being the country’s third largest employer.
Every pub, restaurant, café, hotel and hospitality business creates opportunities for young people, supports local suppliers and helps keep our high streets alive. We create jobs, drive tourism, generate investment and help build thriving communities.
A reduction in VAT to European levels isn’t about protecting profits. It’s about protecting jobs, supporting growth and securing the future of an industry that millions of people rely on.
If hospitality succeeds, towns succeed. The economy succeeds.
The industry needs to come together and make some noise. The more voices we have, the stronger our message.
One industry. One voice. One ask.
It’s time for the UK to recognise hospitality as the economic powerhouse it is.
Please support the campaign, sign the petition and share it with your teams, colleagues, suppliers and customers.
