The reality for too many - the money coming through the front door is not enough to cover costs and so too many customers - and businesses - are being #TaxedOut

We have an amazing Hospitality industry in the UK. If you want growth Keir Starmer then put us on a level playing field and see what we can achieve then!

Thank you to BII member Matt Todd at the The Wonston Arms Pub Landlord for sharing the current harsh reality for pubs and how reducing unfair taxes will kick start vital investment, jobs & growth and prevent unnecessary failure. Contact your MP to get their backing 👇🙏 bit.ly/BII-OurPub

Yesterday our Chair Kate Nicholls OBE spoke to BBC Breakfast about the 25% drop in job vacancies in hospitality compared to last year. There are 22,369 fewer jobs available in hospitality this summer. Catch the segment on Monday 📺 #TaxedOut

Our pubs simply have no resilience left. No reserves,strong sales but majority unprofitable with embedded inflation, high energy costs & Government driven staff costs. Many are cutting hours & jobs to survive. This can be rapidly reversed by fair taxes. news.sky.com/story/wage-ris…

Successive Governments have both ignored and let Hospitality down. Its the UKs 5th biggest sector and the UKs 3rd biggest employer. Every day our local papers are reporting on the loss of our pubs, restaurants, bars, live music venues etc. Enough is enough, drastic action

🚨 UK hospitality in crisis: 🔹 79% raised prices 🔹 50% cut staff 🔹 73% have <6 months cash 🔹 1 in 5 have none Trade bodies urge Gov to act at #Budget2025: ✅ Cut VAT ✅ Reform NICs ✅ Lower business rates #UKPubs #PubsandBars morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2025/0…

With huge business rates, VAT bills, and employment taxes, hospitality is being #TaxedOut. ⚠️Since the 2024 Budget, we’ve lost 89,000 jobs ⚠️Nearly 75% of pre-tax profits go straight to the Treasury ⚠️Venues are cutting hours, raising prices, or shutting their doors for good

"The government says we've given you one penny off a pint, they haven't accounted for the 21p they've added in other costs which means that the price of a pint is going up" 📈 Our Policy Manager Morgan Schondelmeier gave evidence to the Business and Trade Committee on Tuesday

"Long term solutions is about addressing affordability of employment." Yesterday our CEO Allen Simpson told the Business and Trade Committee how hospitality will have lost 100,000 jobs by the next Budget. We need to see the Government fix NICs to protect jobs on 26 November. #TaxedOut
