With prices soaring and bills through the roof, small joys like fish and chips on a Friday night or a trip to the pub have become an unaffordable luxury for too many families.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for an emergency cut to VAT from 20% to 15% for local pubs, restaurants, cafés, hotels and attractions to bring prices down, boost struggling high streets, and give Britain a much-needed morale boost.
Our plan would deliver a fair deal for families and small businesses by easing the pressure on household budgets, helping local shops and venues thrive, and keeping the heart of our communities alive.
It’s time to back families, back local businesses, and give our high streets a fair deal.

Slash VAT for Hospitality
We, the undersigned, call on the Government to introduce an emergency cut to VAT from 20% to 15% for hospitality and leisure businesses. This simple step would bring prices down for customers, support local jobs, and give our communities the fair deal they deserve.
