Scottish licensees call for VAT change to save pubs

The Scottish Licensed Trade Association (SLTA) has released its latest survey, offering a stark snapshot of the challenges facing Scotland’s pubs and bars. As the sector grapples with rising costs and a reduction in customer visits, an overwhelming 78 per cent of outlets are urging the UK government to reduce VAT as a vital measure to support the industry. SLTA MD Colin Wilkinson said: “Our sector is at a critical juncture. Despite the brief uplift from Euro 2024, 62 per cent of outlets have seen lower trade than last year. “Customers are becoming more selective about when they visit, with 19 per cent leaving venues earlier and 16 per cent attending only for specific events. The report also highlights that 64 per cent of respondents have noticed customers spending less, visiting less frequently, and spending less time in the venue.”
