Rejected petition reduce VAT for pubs

Reduce VAT for pubs, restaurants, bars and hotels.

More details

We need your support for a cut in VAT from 20% in restaurants, pubs, bars, and hotels.

At the moment, there is a significant disparity between the zero rate of VAT on food and beverage sales in supermarkets and the 20% VAT rate for sales in pubs and restaurants

The difference that currently exists between the VAT treatment of supermarket sales compared to sales of food and beverages in pubs, restaurants and hotels is simply unfair and something has to be done about it.
