Chancellor John Healey announced a new overnight visitors levy in the first Budget from Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government. Starting in 2028, mayors and other strategic authorities in England will have the power to impose a tax on overnight stays. This levy will be applied as a percentage on the cost of hotels, bed and breakfasts, and other accommodation. The rule could apply in 20 strategic authorities across England, including Cambridgeshire and Greater Manchester.
