What the petition asks
To lower the alcohol tax for hospitality sectors due to COVID-19. All hospitality sectors will be struggling due to this pandemic and they deserve all the help they can get. The hospitality industry is the 4th biggest employer in the UK, accounting 3.2 million jobs through direct employment in 2016.
We should be doing more to help revive our hospitality industry, especially when alcohol brings in most of the revenues in pubs. Help them get back up on there feet and once they are back in full-swing, then lift the low-income tax. After all our hospitality industry generates revenue for local economies and we want to encourage people to support that.
