Reform UK is launching a five point plan to "save British pubs," including proposals to cut VAT for the hospitality sector by 10% and scrap the increase to employer National Insurance introduced in the 2024 Autumn Budget. Last week the government announced a support package for British pubs, including a 15% cut to new business rates bills starting from April. The number of pubs in the UK has fallen by almost 7,000 since 2010, as a combination of high taxes, business rates, and shifting consumer patterns have impacted the viability of running pubs.
