Autumn Budget - Contact Your MP Now!

Monday 16 September 2024

The new Government is presenting its first ever Budget on 30 October. With a new Chancellor and hundreds of new MPs, it is really important that as many people as possible contact their local MP to help make sure the Budget delivers help for consumers, beer and pubs.

We are calling for a further reduction in draught beer and cider duty, a reform of the Business Rates system in England, a VAT cut for hospitality businesses, a review of the definition of cider and a 50% juice minimum in cider, as well as the removal of unnecessary rules that prevent sales of takeaway pints.

CAMRA has already sent the Treasury groundbreaking new research that shows a cut in the tax paid on pints in pubs would create thousands of new jobs and put millions back into the economy – but we need your help to make sure your MP knows too.

Our simple, easy-to-use E-lobby tool means it only takes a minute to contact your MP and ask them to back a package of measures to support pubs and pubgoers across the UK.
