Huge thanks to ⁦The BII⁩ member the Bull Inn at Chesham for rescuing 40 hungry and thirsty walkers today when we were let down by a power cut at our original venue, amazing food and hospitality

We're on the verge of losing a third of our pubs. 10% are near imminent closure. 20% are trading insolvent. If the budget doesn't extend Business Rates Relief, that's them gone.

Our official reaction to today's Autumn Budget. Huge increases in labour costs for our members alongside a reduced rate relief to 40% will stunt investment and growth potential across the sector and affect job security for many. tinyurl.com/BIIBudgetReact…

This is the reality for our pubs from the budget announcements, for many of our members these additional taxes are 10% of their turnover, leading to 80% being unprofitable. We need rapid action from Government to address this reality for small pub businesses. The BII #MyPub

The UK is facing a severe pub crisis... From April, pubs with £100,000 rateable value will see Business Rates jump by £19,000 per year. They'll need to sell an additional: 60,000 pints a year. Thats 1200 pints a week. Thats 170 extra pints every single day. Thats before

Steve Alton, CEO of the BII, has written an open letter to the Chancellor, calling for the cancellation of the planned NICs changes as well as the decreased level of relief on Business Rates bills for pubs until full reform is implemented. Read now🔗 tinyurl.com/BII-OpenLetter

I could re tweet hundreds like this… We TOLD you this would happen Rachel Reeves but you chose to ignore it. This is just the start. IMO Summer may give a little respite but come Autumn when energy bill are ⬆️ & customers ⬇️, this is when you’ll see the real impact.

We’ve written to the PM about the stark reality of tax increases on hospitality. Last month’s survey showed the effect on business with a third operating at a loss and this is the reality for workers with hours and jobs slashed - we are being #TaxedOut thetimes.com/business-money…
