I think we all get that we need to invest in our public services & that this needs additional funding (& maybe more scrutiny of management). However, I think govt & the general public need to realise we’re in danger of taxing our high streets & town centres out of existence.

Jeremy Clarkson spells out hospitality reality “It’s galling to see how much effort is required to make so little money on farm. Worse at pub. The customers are coming. There’s no problem there. But turning their visits into a profit is nigh-on impossible” metro.co.uk/2025/01/07/jer…

First Payroll post budget, largest payroll we’ve ever had, and we are in April… That is even despite trying to mitigate. Worse than even the worst case model. It’s a disgrace what has been done to #HOSPITALITY UKHospitality Kate Nicholls OBE

The Budget has effectively wiped out any means of giving great #Hospitality for a small business unless you can lose money, it’s now a slow painful crawl to the bottom. I’m disgusted by the way the budget has been brought about & dismayed but why we have to do now to survive it

I just don’t understand how our Govt’s (yes successive!) can’t see the damage they are doing. It has been a constant fight since COVID and now they’ve just ramped up the ante. Payrolls will be landing across the country and business owners will be cracking open the whiskey (yes

For every £1 you spend in hospitality, 55p goes straight to VAT, NI and Labour costs (Minimum!) That’s before food, business rates, energy, rent, insurance, maintenance and more. Margins are tight. Pressure is real. Policies are wrong. You can’t tax yourself into growth and

Hospitality question⁉️ Should we consider presenting our prices on an ex-VAT basis with VAT added on at the end of a bill like lots of other businesses do - £5.42 + VAT for a pint instead of £6.50 for example? This would help illustrate how much is going straight to the treasury.

We start the week off with some bad news. 69,000 jobs have been lost in Hospitality since the budget, with more to come. The budget was a disaster for our sector, which many warned about. We urgently need to reverse this by lowering the NI and by bringing VAT in line with

“The 2024 Budget surprised everybody. It had significant cost implications across the economy," our Chair Kate Nicholls OBE told City A.M.. That's why we're calling for change at this year's Budget to stop hospitality being #TaxedOut. cityam.com/a-year-of-hard…

I honestly believe working in Hospitality, even just for a period, will set you up with skills for life… It will teach you, how to talk to anyone, think on your feet, work hard, deal with people, react to difficult situations and deliver exceptional customer service…skills

There is one very simple solution to #Hospitality sectors current problems. Ignore everything else and cut VAT in line with Europe - the average is 13%. The pandemic shows that the government has the systems in place to cut it straight away. It will generate more revenue through
