💯 agree with this !

The hospitality sector has come together to launch - a united campaign and petition calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
Spearheaded by chef and publican Tom Kerridge, we're working alongside trade bodies across the sector, such as British Beer & Pub Association, the Bll, and Hospitality Ulster, hospitality communities like CODE Hospitality, and you, businesses across hospitality, to say 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.
Our sector pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support venues, our customers, our high streets and our local communities.
This campaign is for everyone: businesses, customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters, bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers and producers.

Like, sign the petition and share this post
- we need your support to reach a million signatures.

We are looking for an additional person to join the team here to assist with VAT returns and general accounts prep.

If interested please email your cv to [email protected] along with days/hours available. Closing date 12th March
Thanks

The Farming for the Generations team was kindly invited to attend a recent gathering of the Northern Ireland branch of the Agricultural Law Association, held at the Glenavon Hotel, Cookstown.

At the event, the team had the opportunity to highlight the work of Rural Support, showcasing key services such as the Supportline, Business Mentoring, Counselling, and Social Farming.

They also presented the Farming for the Generations programme - a pilot initiative launched by Rural Support and funded by DAERA as part of the Sustainable Agriculture Programme. This initiative helps farm families with succession planning to secure the future of their businesses.

The programme follows a three-phase approach:
1️⃣ Planning for Succession
2️⃣ Developing the Successor(s)
3️⃣ Ongoing Support

It also provides options for farmers without a family successor, helping them explore partnerships with new entrants or other farming businesses.

Last point on the budget for tonight. Yes the increase in employers nic is a nightmare for small employers, as is the reduction in the employer nic threshold. However the increase in the employer allowance will go a long way to counteract this and will actually leave some employers better off in terms of employer nic payable. 😊
As much as I try I can’t put a positive spin on the increase in minimum wage for my small business clients. It will be difficult and does seem as if the budget aimed at improving things for employed workers and the expense of the small employer 🥲
