Petition Give small hospitality businesses 10% VAT relief
We feel that small hospitality businesses who turn over less than £200,000 a year face high costs when they meet the VAT threshold, particularly with the increases to national minimum wage and national insurance contribution.
More details
We feel it’s unfair that small hospitality businesses can face huge VAT bills when they have a smaller turnover. We feel that bills like this can be crippling and in turn can cause closures nationally on a regular basis.

Explainer
Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.
They are a way to:
- raise awareness of an issue
- seek to influence government policy
- put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.
They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
