#VATsTheProblem is a nationwide campaign spearheaded by Tom Kerridge calling for a cut to VAT for hospitality to 10%. In Europe, VAT rates run anywhere between 8% and 12%, whereas we sit as one of the highest with 20%.
Every day, three hospitality businesses in the UK are closing. As Tom Kerridge writes in his open letter, “We need them to stay open, we need growth, we need to bring youth unemployment down, and we need to secure the future of the most exciting sector that we have.”
The UK On-Trade is at the heart of our business, and we have seen first-hand how our customers have been impacted in recent years. We encourage you to sign the petition and put your support behind a campaign that could affect real change in UK hospitality, for the better, at a time when it is needed most.
