Should hospitality VAT be cut from 20% to 10%? 🍽️🍺

People like and Rachel Rachel Harris think so — and it’s easy to see why.

The hospitality industry has faced rising wages, higher National Insurance costs, food inflation and soaring energy bills.

Yet despite all this, hospitality still pays 20% VAT.

Supporters of a VAT reduction argue it would:

✅ Help struggling pubs and restaurants survive
✅ Protect jobs
✅ Boost high streets and local economies
✅ Encourage investment and growth

Critics say it would cost the Treasury billions.

But one thing is certain: hospitality is a huge employer and a vital part of our communities.

What do you think?
Should hospitality VAT be reduced to 10%?

👇 Let me know in the comments.

🚨 Business owners: Stop making life harder than it needs to be.

A great accountant shouldn’t just file your accounts once a year.

They should know your business, answer your questions, support you when things go wrong, and help you grow.

That’s where small accountancy practices shine.

Do you prefer working with a small firm or a large firm? 👇

🚨 “My business pays for my food shop using vouchers as trivial benefits…”

This is something you hear a lot online — but what’s actually true?

Let’s break it down 👇

18/05/2026

Most contractors/consultants/freelancers don’t realise this is the real problem ...

Most think they need:

* Better bookkeeping
* A better accountant
* Or more tax advice

But that’s not actually the problem.

The real issue is:

Not having financial clarity throughout the year — only after it’s too late to act.

So decisions get made blind.

If you have clarity through the year, it means you will feel in control and be able to make informed decisions about your business, expenditure and investment.

A sole trader came to us thinking they had a tax bill they couldn’t afford.
After reviewing their bookkeeping, we found:

âś… Unclaimed software costs
âś… Business mileage never logged
âś… Work-from-home allowance missed
âś… Training incorrectly categorised

Total missed expenses: just over ÂŁ3,800 - Which significantly reduced their tax liability.

This is the difference between “Doing your books” and Doing your books properly.

If you're a founder still managing your own bookkeeping and want to know what you might be missing, DM me or email us at [email protected] to have a coffee or online chat.

Some friendly advice - If you’re doing your bookkeeping at 10PM after a full day of client work…

This is your sign to stop.

I spoke to a founder who:
• delivers brilliant work for their clients
• invoices on time
• has consistent revenue

…but hadn’t reconciled their accounts for months.

They said:

“I just open my banking app and hope there’s enough in there for tax.”

Your profit ≠ the cash sitting in your account.

And hoping for the best in January is not a tax strategy.

If your books are currently:
• behind
• confusing
• or living in a spreadsheet you’re scared to open ...

then come and have a no-obligation chat with us - whether you join as a client or not, we'll do our best to help.

Most UK freelancers are missing out on at least 3 of these business expenses 👇

• Software subscriptions (Canva, Zoom, Notion, etc.)
• Home office costs
• Mobile phone usage
• Professional indemnity insurance
• Mileage (not just fuel)
• Accountant / bookkeeping fees
• Training related to your services

I recently spoke to a consultant who had been in business for 2+ years…
…and hadn’t claimed a single home office expense.

That’s potentially £100s (sometimes £1,000s) per year in unnecessary tax.

If you're a:

✔️ Freelancer
✔️ Consultant
✔️ Sole trader
✔️ Small Ltd company founder

and you’re not 100% sure you're claiming everything you're entitled to — today is the day to change that!

Just contact [email protected] and we will make sure you're claiming everything you can and we'll get you back in control.

Mileage is one of the most commonly missed expenses for:

• consultants
• freelancers
• service-based founders

Because people assume:

“If I didn’t keep fuel receipts, I can’t claim it.”

You can!

HMRC approved mileage rates exist for exactly this reason.

If you’re travelling to:
• client meetings
• co-working spaces
• temporary work locations

You could be reducing your tax bill.

A small Ltd company came to us doing all their bookkeeping in spreadsheets.

Which meant:
• no real-time numbers
• no visibility on expenses
• no idea what their tax bill might be

After moving them onto proper bookkeeping software:

They now have:
✔️ Monthly financial reports
✔️ Clear expense tracking
✔️ Ongoing tax estimates

AND - No surprises in January!

If you're still managing everything manually — message me and we will happily guide you through how we support Ltd company founders (all for free).
