On the morning of Wednesday 14^th December, the British Hospitality Associations hosted a webinar for members and to the public on our Tourism & VAT Campaign.

Earlier this year, the BHA merged its industry-wide campaign on Tourism and VAT for a reduced rate of VAT with that of Bourne Leisure Group and Merlin Entertainments Group. Members of the merged campaign include British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers and Amusements, the Federation of Small Business and the Tourism Alliance. The campaign is led by BHA. Graham Wason, a former Deloitte hospitality and tourism consulting partner who has been involved in the campaign since 1993, is the chairman.

The campaign argues that jobs will be created if the UK government were to apply a reduced rate of VAT to tourism services, as do most other EU countries.

The webinar was delivered by Graham Wason. If you happened to miss our webinar on Tourism and VAT please see the link below to the recorded version and a copy of the Notes distributed prior to the webinar:
