It is just horrendous. Small and community businesses wiped clean. We need a lifeline.

@LeeAndersonMP_ The Great British Holiday would become unaffordable for many and it would do nothing to help support jobs or tackle the cost of living - wrong tax at the wrong time

A holiday tax will increase the cost of my holiday by £32.00 for 4 of us to spend 4 nights away in the UK. Scrap the holiday tax.

Winston Churchill once famously said: “Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon” It captures something many business owners feel today, especially in licensed

80,000 jobs lost for young people in a single quarter. Is there precedent for that? The reason is simply tax. VAT at double EU levels for hospitality. Business rates on hotels up 115% by year three. NICS changes bringing 750k people into the tax for the first time.

Govt’s proposed ‘holiday tax’ could add £100+ to UK breaks, risk jobs and push Brits to holiday abroad instead. CEO @allen_m_simpson: "Holidays are for relaxing, not taxing." Join our campaign: https://t.co/RT43lI8YJV

The vice like grip of tax, regulation and inflation is squeezing hospitality’s ability to provide opportunities for all - we know we can do it is the conditions are right. When govt cut NICs post financial crash we generated 1 in 3 net new jobs for 16-24 year olds

In the week when the government consultation on new tourism taxes closes, this is a timely reminder that visitors already pay one of the highest rates of tourism tax - VAT. We are one of the few countries in Europe which doesn’t have a lower rate of VAT for hospitality & tourism

Absolutely stark news today - unemployment at 5.2% - and youth unemployment at 14%. 80,000 more young people out of work in a single quarter. Health warning - ONS data often get revised. But this is a clear pattern - a key part of the jobs market is being made uneconomic.

The overall tax burden for the hospitality industry is crippling - we need lower alcohol duty - lower VAT rates on accommodation/food -fundamental reform of business rates-lower corporation tax - we can then turbocharge our sector raising more taxes for the Exchequer - win win
@crwcitypubs Yes cumulative tax burden is what needs looking at and as you rightly highlight other countries see hospitlaity as a driver of growth

Scrap proposed England holiday tax, hospitality businesses say- our guesthouses, B&Bs and hotels are already struggling with crippling business rates bills and this will hit hard working families, communities and make cost of living worse

Critics say the proposed tax could force families to shorten trips or spend their money overseas.
