Kerridge is spearheading #VATsTheProblem, a sector-wide campaign backed by UKHospitality, the British Beer & Pub Association, the British Institute of Innkeeping and CODE Hospitality, calling on government to cut hospitality VAT from 20% to 10%, bringing the UK in line with countries such as France, Spain and Italy.
