What happened
A campaign advocating for a reduction in hospitality VAT was launched, with Lennox leading the group. The group, which includes Chris Webb, is targeting politicians across all parties who have not publicly supported a VAT reduction. They plan to present evidence to the Treasury and are pushing for an emergency VAT reduction through a Private Member’s Bill.
Why it matters
The campaign directly challenges the current VAT position of the Treasury regarding the hospitality industry. The group is also calling for a televised debate on the financial pressures facing the sector.
