Hospitality Businesses Face 'Nightmare Before Christmas'
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Hospitality businesses in the UK face a nightmare before Christmas due to Labours business rates reform. Despite promises of lower taxes, many pubs, restaurants, and venues are seeing increased costs. Around five thousand small pubs will start paying business rates for the first time next year. Landlords are protesting, refusing service to Labour MPs, as the gap between high street shops and online giants widens. Officials warn of potential business closures, job losses, and higher prices for consumers. Industry leaders urge ministers to reconsider and support the high street.
