Over 200 UK hospitality leaders warn a proposed England holiday tax could add £100+ to a two-week trip, threatening tourism and affordability.
Over 200 UK hospitality leaders warn a proposed holiday tax in England could add £100 or more to a two-week trip, making holidays unaffordable and risking tourism revenue.
The tax, modeled on existing levies in Scotland and Wales, would allow local mayors to charge visitors, but industry groups argue it would worsen financial strain on an already struggling sector.
They stress high business rates, energy costs, and a 20% VAT rate—double that of key European competitors—make the UK less competitive.
The government maintains the tax would be modest and aligned with international standards, giving local leaders power to fund infrastructure and growth.
The consultation closes on 18 February 2026.
