VAT’s The Problem

September 22nd 2026       General News


We’ve written to the Prime Minister, alongside the #VATsTheProblem campaign and 800 other hospitality operators, to urge the Prime Minister to deliver on his support for a lower rate of hospitality VAT.

Pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels, nightclubs and leisure venues like ours are the heart of our communities, but rising costs are pushing many to breaking point.

More than 380,000 people are already behind the campaign, but we need everyone. Add your name to the petition to show hospitality stands united.

10% is fair for hospitality because we are taxed significantly more than other sectors in the UK, including banking.

Join us in support of the #VATsTheProblem campaign. This is for everyone, whether you’re in hospitality, know someone who is or have a favourite pub, cafe, restaurant or hotel. Sign the petition. Share with your teams, customers, guests, suppliers, family and friends.
