We'll also be keeping everyone informed of best practice here, as well as sharing the most up-to-date industry information, Government announcements and latest professional advice through our FOC professional panel.

VAT in line with Europe.

Right now the UK hospitality sector is carrying one of the highest VAT burdens in Europe. At 20% it simply does not stack up against the rest of the continent where lower rates support jobs, communities and local economies.

Hospitality is closing at a rate of around 6 to 7 businesses every single day. That is pubs, cafés, restaurants and hotels disappearing from our high streets and towns.

This is not just about business owners. It is about the 3+ million people who work in hospitality plus the millions more family members and friends connected to the sector. When hospitality struggles whole communities feel it.

Cutting VAT in line with Europe would help bring down prices, support jobs, protect high streets and give this vital industry breathing room.

Hospitality does not want handouts. It wants a fair playing field.

It is time to reset the balance.
