Stand Up for Your Local. Stand Up for Independent Hospitality. 🏴✊
Please take two minutes out of your day to sign the petition to lower the rate of VAT for hospitality to 10%.
Our pubs, microbreweries, and community hubs are the beating heart of our towns and valleys. They’re where we celebrate, where we unwind after a hard day's graft, and where we come together for a tidy drop of proper Welsh beer. But right now, independent venues are under massive pressure from soaring costs.
Did you know that in the UK hospitality sector pays one of the highest VAT rates in Europe at 20%? France, Spain & Italy - 10% | Germany: 7%
Our message to the Government is simple: a 10% VAT rate is fair for hospitality.
It keeps local businesses alive, keeps independent taps flowing, and keeps your pints affordable. Sign the petition 👉 https://www.vatstheproblem.co.uk/
