Our pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, nightclubs and many more, are at the heart of our communities.
If you follow any of those establishments on your socials you will see this message popping up a lot in the next few days
They bring people together and bring life to our communities but they're under huge pressure from rising costs.
In the UK, you pay one of the highest VAT rates in Europe. 20% extra in VAT for your pint, meal out or stay away. In France, Spain and Italy, it's 10%. In Germany? 7%.
Our message to Government is simple. Let's stand together to say VAT at 10% is fair for hospitality.
Hospitality needs your support now more than ever, sign the petition and help us protect the future of our favourite places.
