@RachelReevesMP it's fine if you want us to pay higher wages, more buisness NI, but you have to give something back and change something. VAT on hospitality is the highest in Europe, Ireland in Jan 2026 is lowering it to 9%

@RachelReevesMP if you Lowered VAT in Hopsitality then it would allow us to employ more staff, contributing more NI and PAYE tax Staff working creates more tax, also creates more spending on other areas. At the moment we are having to cut staff to bare bones.

@RachelReevesMP @UKLabour if your the party of Buisness show the hospitality trade a new VAT rate, one that would allow us to thrive and not strangle us, 10% vat rate would make us grow as an industry and would create spending and jobs also. #vat #hospitality #growth

If @CumberlandCoun don't make the most of this then they all need thrown out. Carlisle's roman heritage should be what York is with its Viking heritage! Where is the exhibition centre gonna be? What time of year is the Roman march in the city gonna be?? All will bring tourism !!

10% vat in resturants in Spain. And the UK have 20%, surely dropping VAT down to a level which makes dining out in the UK more affordable would boost the economy!, would help us with employed rising costs. @Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak Hospitality minister is 100% needed

Iv been saying this for months VAT on our trade is far to high Corporation tax cut is pointless

I was alarmed when I heard Liz Truss was going to support business by cutting corporation tax. No point cutting taxes on non existent profits. A VAT cut would make a huge difference to our industry. However much more will be needed to save businesses and jobs this winter 🙏🏻
