Don't charge food businesses 20% VAT on turnover

What the petition asks
I want the government to stop charging food businesses 20% VAT. The reason for this is because our industry has barely any VAT to claim back and yet we get charged that 20% on our turnover which is unfair compared to other industries. This ruins cash flow and causes business owners financial issues.
