Hospitality, other small businesses, the consumer… The list is huge.
Tax receipts are higher than ever and some breaks have to be handed down.
Support small businesses and support consumers
My last few bosses in hospitality have been the worst human beings alive. They belittle staff in front of customers, pinch tips, cut hours on a whim even when we’re busy, are super stingy with portion control, and raise prices at every opportunity. If a few businesses crash and burn, so be it. The fact that they need this VAT cut is a testament to their poor business practices.
If vat rate was to return will it benefit the customer?
>The report notes that average margins for food services have been decimated, having dropped to 1.9% of turnover compared with 7.2% in 2019.
Sounds rough
The hospitality industry and vintners association can go fuck themselves.
Lower the price of a keg then maybe we’ll talk.
VAT rates shouldn’t be something that should be haggled over all the time. It should just be off the cards entirely, not something we’re constantly discussing and shuffling.
Record employment in the sector of course.
The failing business just shout loudest
The lobby groups are very fond of their line “supply and demand”
There is a another rule around “survival of the fittest”
I saw a YouTuber do an excellent video and he shows how Tuam went from 24 pubs to 12 pubs and come on, were 24 pubs ever sustainable anyway?
