Abolish business rates for UK pubs and hospitality businesses
Scrap business Rates for UK Hospitality sector full stop. This will encourage new and existing businesses to invest, whereas the current regime will see closures and job losses.
Cut VAT for local hospitality – for Pubs, Cafes & Restaurants
Across the UK, our cafes, pubs and restaurants are more than just businesses. They are the beating heart of our communities, the places where we celebrate milestones, share a quiet pint or coffee with a friend and create lifelong memories. And they're struggling to stay afloat.
Raise fuel duty in line with inflation to raise income for critical services
In 2000 fuel duty on petrol was 49p/litre. Since then, it has not risen with inflation, and currently sits at 53p/litre. We believe raising the duty to 93p/litre would raise significant revenue for the Treasury.
Raise the standard tax-free Personal Allowance to £45,000
The Personal Allowance is the amount of income a person can get before they pay income tax. It stands at £12,570 in 2025. We would like the standard Personal Allowance raised to what we think is a more realistic figure of £45,00.
Scrap Pubs Code 2016 and amend the Competition Act 1998 to ban tied beer lines
Scrap the Pub Code 2016 and amend the Competition Act 1998 to ban tied beer lines, giving pub tenants the right to buy and sell freely from any brewery, especially from independent and local UK producers.
