NCASS recently met with Small Business Minister Gareth Thomas MP in Parliament to discuss support for independent hospitality businesses across the UK.
We need the Government to better understand the huge challenges faced by micro and small businesses in our sector. The need for reform in the way VAT is levied was discussed, as well as how real change through a smoothing mechanism and revision of the VAT threshold could stimulate growth in the sector and support small businesses in particular.
Following the disappointing Budget announcement last year, NCASS Director Mark Laurie emphasised the importance of listening to the needs of small and micro businesses who are the entrepreneurs who drive innovation across the hospitality sector and who are often the catalysts for improving our town centres and high streets.
NCASS continues to meet with MPs and elected representatives across the UK. If you are interested in meeting with your local MP to discuss issues affecting your business then please get in touch with our Public Affairs team at [email protected].
