Burnham told to deliver 10 per cent hospitality VAT after backing tax cut

Over 800 hospitality businesses, including hotel chains, pub giants, and renowned chefs, have urged Andy Burnham to implement a VAT reduction. Through the VAT’s The Problem campaign, these industry stakeholders are demanding that hospitality VAT be lowered from 20 per cent to 10 per cent. This open letter increases pressure on the prime minister to deliver these tax cuts in the upcoming Budget, following his previous expressions of support for lower taxation within the sector.
