Pubs the Golden Goose?
November 9, 2009
About one million people employed either directly or by association with The Great British Pub industry and yet HMG hammer the industry by way of tax increases.
When VAT reduced to 15% , what do you know HMG INCREASED tax on Beer by 8% to compensate (an extra £600m into their coffers) and now when VAT returns to 17.5% the extra 6p a pint will put even more pubs under pressure and could well see more close.
Talk about killing the Goose that laid the Golden Egg!
