The Government receives ten times as much from a pint of beer as the pub landlord.
How is that fair?
How is that sustainable?

Every month, reviewing my payroll and employer National Insurance contributions is a reminder of how anti business and anti jobs Labour has been .@andyburnham @JohnHealey_MP cut hospitality VAT to 10% if you want to protect jobs and the tax revenues generated by #Reevesonomics.

Bank of England found 44% firms employed fewer people than they otherwise would have done as a result of NIC change - in hospitality that figure rises to 60% and two thirds of all jobs lost across the economy for young people are in hospitality & tourism - it’s literally a tax on opportunity
Labour support among business founders has collapsed from 19 per cent to 0 per cent in recent internal polls 📉
Four out of five founders surveyed are calling for a reversal of the National Insurance increase to boost enterprise confidence.
New episodes Tuesday to Friday at 6am ⏰

We’ve officially hit 75,000 signatures since launching #VATsTheProblem – the united sector campaign calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
A huge thank you to everyone that has engaged with our campaign so far, but there’s still a long way to go. Sign the petition now 👇

Higher tax for “playing an important role in the community”????😡😡😡
Should deserve a tax cut.
HMRC has decided to punish 'nice pubs.'
They have ordered valuation officials to levy higher business rates on pubs that are in “attractive locations”, play an important role in the community, or are based in “character properties”. Pubs with playgrounds or those which serve a so-called "premium priced menu" will also be landed with higher taxes.
This is an extraordinarily disreputable approach to valuation but only to be expected once the independent Valuation Office was shoved under the control of HMRC by dim-witted Labour Minister James Murray. HMRC are as usual obsessed with extracting the maximum amount of cash from families & businesses

The message is now the same.
Hospitality is united with one important call.
Cut VAT in line with Europe.
With the @reformparty_uk promising 10% @LibDems promising 15% and @AndyBurnhamGM / @AngelaRayner also supporting a VAT cut to European levels.

Various campaigns, various asks but ALL with a common theme - there is growing consensus now around the need for a cut to Vat.
In all their recent statements the following have called for VAT to be brought into line with European levels to deliver fairness for hospitality
It can’t be ignored that Hospitality organisations are calling for a #VATCUT

British Steel employs 4,000. The Government is stepping in to save those jobs.
Hospitality is the UK's 5th largest employer, and as a result of @RachelReevesMP's first budget, has lost 120,000 jobs.
Why is hospitality looked down upon by this @UKLabour Government?
BlueBallWorrall retweeted
You destroyed any hope we had the second you got into Government, invented a £20bn blackhole to justify unnecessary tax rises & broke your promises, told so many of us we weren't 'working people' then refused to support high streets & hospitality resulting in now 120k jobs lost.

If it is true that Labour are going to be reduced to 3/4th place it’s now time for the industry; as one, to push for #VatinlinewithEurope we have been waiting for this moment, change at the top is coming and it’s time for us to get a #VatCut #V ✌️@HospoVoices @wonky_table @HospoTogether

Talking to @BBCNews about the accelerating rate of closure of pubs, the cumulative taxation at the heart of closures - 40p in £1 spent in pubs going to Government in taxes & how fair taxes with a priority on VAT will unlock skilled jobs, investment, & drive growth. @BIIandBIIAB

They think we are stupid. The Iran war will become the excuse for every failed Labour policy so let’s just fix Rachel’s post from this morning. War is NOT responsible for …
▪️Employer National Insurance increases raising hiring costs
▪️Frozen tax thresholds dragging more people into higher tax bands
▪️Minimum wage rises increasing business operating costs
▪️Higher public sector pay settlements adding fiscal pressure
▪️Regulatory and net zero compliance costs passed into bills
▪️Business costs feeding through into higher consumer prices
▪️”Stealth tax” effect from inflation + frozen allowances
▪️Increased borrowing pushing up long-term tax risk
She could easily bring prices down and has chosen not to 🤡

I see it’s the annual ‘gaslight the public into believing @UKLabour is increasing wages day’!
Sadly they’re not. They’re getting businesses to pay it. Oh & as a nice little bonus they’ll take more in both income tax & NIC’s as a result.
All while keeping tax thresholds frozen.

Help deliver this how Kate? Because as far as I’m aware it’s businesses covering the cost while Gov benefit from the extra taxes. Please feel free to let us know what precisely you are doing to help BUSINESSES deliver this. Particularly in hospitality?
BlueBallWorrall retweeted
Right now, in Hospitality, if you are breaking even, you are doing well.
Many operators aren't even taking a wage.
Jobs are being lost.
Tomorrow, they get hit with the Business Rates Increase, just another stealth tax.
A reduction in VAT is the only way to resolve this mess.
BlueBallWorrall retweeted
33,000 Hospitality businesses closed since the amazing @RachelReevesMP made her 1st budget. Thats 33,000 places that employed people and helped pay taxes. The industry needs a VAT cut now. There will be more businesses to employ and pay taxes
