Petition Change VAT Threshold to Profit Earned

Change the threshold for VAT to profit earned rather than turnover.

Many small businesses (especially hospitality) have high turnovers but minimal profit!

More details

How are we expected to pay more in VAT than what we make in profit?

With the increasing costs of ingredients and staff wages along with high overheads, it can be almost impossible for small businesses in hospitality to survive due to burdensome tax bills. We believe the Government is crippling businesses and causing closures while big chains continue to make millions of pounds!
