I spent 2 nights in a hotel this week for work - I’m already paying 20% in VAT and now govt is proposing another tax with additional VAT on top. The £22.40 additional tax adds to cost of living. No new taxes #cutvat ukhospitality.org.uk/share_h…

The UK pays one of the highest hospitality VAT rates in Europe, second only to Denmark, putting our industry at a disadvantage and making it harder for people to support their local businesses.
We need action! Get involved in our #TaxedOut campaign:

60% of hospitality businesses are cutting jobs, 75% have increased prices and 2/3 are reducing staff hours.
"These cuts are a last ditch attempt by businesses just to stay afloat" @sarahjolney1 MP for Richmond Park told Parliament last week.
Hospitality is being #TaxedOut.

Today in #PMQs, two big hospitality issues were raised:
1. Tax rises costing 89k hospitality jobs. We need to fix NICs.
2. The importance of business rates reform, where we need the maximum discount for hospitality.

This is the hard truth behind why we are getting screwed from our government…… stopping growth, stopping us investing in our team and most of all putting us out of business… the stats from all these other countries don’t lie @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP

New figures show hospitality lost 69,000 jobs since the Budget. The year before, the sector created 18,000.
@UKHospKate told @thetimes the Gov't needs to fix NICs to boost jobs by extending exemptions to include people moving from welfare to work. thetimes.com/business-money/…

“We were clear at the time that the changes to NICs were a tax on jobs, and so it is sadly proving.”
@UKHospKate told @guardian after more than 100,000 jobs were lost across the economy in April. We need to see urgent action to change NICs.

When it comes to weddings there are many tough decisions. One of the biggest for brides, is who should be bridesmaid. Well when Kathryn McGowan married her now husband Jack, she refused to leave anyone out, and so she had 95 bridesmaids at her ceremony. Ita Dungan has the story
