Visitor levies

England

We secured assurances from the Government that it would not introduce a tourist tax in England. This is a commitment we will be using to hold the Government to account.

Scotland

In Scotland, where the ability to introduce a levy has been introduced, UKHospitality has been pivotal in securing business-friendly commitments. In Edinburgh, our campaigning led to a 2% cost recovery mechanism to be introduced, to help offset costs.

Wales

The Welsh Government has passed legislation that gives local authorities in Wales the ability to introduce a Visitor Levy, or ‘tourist tax’.
