Hospitality has suffered through the pandemic as a lot of businesses were unable to open and during this period we lost a lot of businesses.  With the current energy prices hitting unprecedented heights this will surely have a knock on effect for small businesses up and down the country.  The prices will make it unaffordable for customers and more businesses will be lost.  Therefore I am asking on the government to reduce the current VAT rate at 20% to 5% so the hospitality industry can weather this storm.
