It’s just a pub…. But my chef needs his job to feed his family. It’s just a pub…. But Larry comes in every night because he lives alone and want company. It’s just a pub…. But the butcher relies on us to pay his rent. It’s not just a pub! You see?.

Our head chef has handed in his notice for a new opportunity. Now considering becoming entirely wet led at this venue. This will mean I need less FOH staff on shift and no kitchen staff. The cost of employing a full time chef for this particular pub has become unsustainable. 1/2.

Other countries support hospitality with a lower VAT, hospitality in the UK pays a full 20%. The EU average VAT on hospitality is 10%-13%. The Government should follow the majority of European rival nations by reducing VAT on the sector. #TaxedOut.

My Mum & Step Dad recently lost their dog of 15 years, upset, they decided to book a mini break and this was their room booked through @bookingcom 🤢 Vile! They should be refunded so that they can put the ££ towards another break. These aren’t even the worst pics of the room!.

Probably the best campaign I’ve seen from @UKHofficial to date and something we can all get on board with….
Hospitality is the beating heart of our economy and communities, but we’re being #TaxedOut. We are calling on the Gov't to act in the Budget. ✅Lower business rates.✅Fix NICs.✅Cut VAT. We’re making our voice heard & we need yours too. Find out more 👉

RT @John_J_C_Moss: @UKHospKate There is no reason VAT cannot be charged at different rates for different things. So a lower rate of VAT on….

I’m heartbroken for Jotas wife and children, but what is playing on my mind the most is their Mum. As a Mum, I just can’t comprehend the pain of losing 2 children in such a tragic way. Adult children are always still your babies, it would rip the heart out of you. 💔.

Judy heard the news about Liverpool player, Jota. Absolutely heart breaking, only just married with 3 children & the family also have to cope with the tragic loss of his brother at the same time. Horrific. Thoughts are with his family & the club. #YNWA 💔.

Because I’m actually a nice person, I don’t like to see anyone crying or upset, is it because she’s about to lose her job? Because we know lot of people worrying about losing their jobs and their businesses on the back of decisions she has made. Maybe now she can empathise.
Pretty shocking scenes to see the Chancellor crying on camera in the House of Commons.

RT @MerlinFDC4: The government is wrong on this one. The hospitality industry is largely independent, therefore any relaxation in taxation….

We also pay tax on profit (if you’re lucky enough to make any), tax on employment & council tax (business rates). Let’s not forget licence fees for tv, music, alcohol sales. All costs the customer cannot see. We are a government cash cow.

Just a reminder that £2 of every £10 you spend in hospitality goes straight to HMRC that’s before the venue has paid for the product, the staff to serve it, the rent on the venues to serve it in, the gas/ electricity to cook it…it’s endless. #CUTVAT.

The relief when you’ve organised a big event and it’s finally over! For a year anyway…just got to work out how much we’ve made for HMRC now!.
