Behind Budget headlines is a brutal reality for our members’ pubs. Instead of reducing an unfair & destructive tax burden they have increased staff costs, alcohol duty & despite promises to reduce business rates, they will significantly increase. #OurPub bii.org/BII/News/Artic…

Talking to Tom Swarbrick on LBC about the devastating impact of yet further taxes on pubs which will leave less than 1 in 10 of our members profitable. Government must act before its policies close viable pub businesses for good. The BII #OurPub #TaxedOut #LongLiveTheLocal

Backing pubs means reducing the unfair level of taxes they face. From every Ā£1 spent, over 40p goes in tax leaving only 1 in 3 now profitable. Despite promises, the budget increased taxes which will mean less than 1 in 10 profitable, urgent action is vital.bbc.com/news/articles/…
