“Back our pubs and they will deliver in every postcode. Tax them harder and we will lose thousands.”
Results from our members survey make clear the opportunity ahead for Government and the consequences of failing to back our nations pubs. @BIIandBIIAB

We need to leave Government in doubt about what is needed to unlock skilled jobs, investment & growth in every postcode. A fair deal for hospitality with 10% VAT, in line with European neighbours, is vital. Sign the petition & back your locals 👇🙏 vatstheproblem.co.uk

"The Government has a huge opportunity to provide the conditions to drive investment, new skilled jobs and growth in our sector through fair taxes," he told The Morning Advertiser (The MA). @BIIandBIIAB

My comments in the MA ‘Providing an immediate fair VAT rate of 10% on all pub sales would provide a vital boost for pubs, which will result in further skilled jobs, drive investment and deliver essential growth in all areas across the UK.’ bit.ly/BusiRates @BIIandBIIAB

The pub sector at its best, over 60 riders from across the industry riding 170 miles around Norfolk on @Pedallingforpub all for @apavementaway & @LTCharity both helping people facing real hardship from our sector. Our brilliant team has raised over £120,000 so far 🙏👏🚴♀️⛰️🇳🇫

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

The unfair cumulative tax burden is unsustainable. Our undervalued industry provides essential skilled jobs, delivers immeasurable social value at the heart of every community & underpins local economies. Government must back us before it is too late.

Please add your voice and make sure your MP is backing their locals, it takes just a few mins via this link. The overall tax burden must reduce with a priority on VAT to unlock employment opportunities, investment & growth. 👇🙏 bii.org/campaigns/our-pub/ @BIIandBIIAB #OurPub

Profit feels like a dirty word in hospitality, like we should somehow be just treading water trying now to drown. But it’s profit that drives investment and growth. It enables employment and training. Without it we can’t move forward. Gov must cut the cost of doing business.

"My message to Rachel Reeves is to reduce VAT in hospitality - 100 per cent. I don't think the current government understands the importance that pubs have on the social fabric of communities up-and-down this country. It cannot be underestimated.” insidermedia.com/news/north-…

Great piece by BII Member Woody Barlow. Add your voice and contact your MP to get behind their local pubs and deliver fair taxes to ensure pubs can survive & thrive 👇🙏 bii.org/campaigns/our-pub/

"Only us and Denmark haven't reduced VAT for hospitality.”
"MPs used to say, 'you'll never get [a VAT reduction], we can't afford it, but now, the question is the other way round, 'can we afford not to do it?' @BIIandBIIAB #OurPub

The pub sector provides vital stepping on points for so many young people starting their working journeys. Unfair cumulative taxation, 40p in every £1 spent is tax, is forcing pub operators to reduce jobs. catererlicensee.com/uk-unemp…

Write to your MP to get them behind their locals, fair taxes through lowering VAT (in line with Europe), reducing employment costs & long term lower Business Rates bills 👇🙏 bit.ly/BII-OurPub @BIIandBIIAB #OurPub #PubCareers #HeartoftheCommunity
