I am being #taxedout. It is wrong that 75% of my Biz profits go back to the government. Put another way. I make UK folk happy and the UK government take 75% of the profit that happiness generated . Totally wrong. What are Government doing to make UK residents happy ?
"75% of hospitality and tourism businesses profits go back to the Government in some form of tax or another" our Chair @UKHospKate told @LBC. We need to see action from the Government to stop hospitality being #TaxedOut. Have you written to your MP yet?ukhospitality.org.uk/campaigns/taxe…
🍕 No pizza this Wednesday at The Wonston — Darren’s off chasing dough elsewhere! If you’re a pop-up food wizard with wheels, spice, smoke or sizzle… we’ve got a ready-to-roll pitch and hungry locals. Slide into our DMs! #popupfood #mypub #wonstonarms

Really busy Weekend trade collecting Taxes for the UK 🇬🇧 government. I worked long hours, they didn’t pay me anything & not even a Thankyou or a well-done from them as my employer. Perhaps I’ll get their July ‘Employee of The Month’ award. Wet pubs are being #taxedout #ourpubs

Well said Emma
Business owner Emma Gibbon makes a plea for the Government to review three key topics to ensure the survival of pub companies like hers. #OurPubs #LongLiveTheLocal #Taxedout Join the #ourpub campaign here: bit.ly/BIIOurPub
Morning! Amazing to see the #taxedout campaign gaining momentum. Just wondering if @UKHofficial @fsb_policy & others might consider a free year or subsidised membership for micro businesses? We’ve had to cut back on every expense but would love to belong? Thank you!
This is why Pubs are such unique special places … the joy shared together by folk, far outstrips watching on your sofa at home 🏠 alone. We need to keep pubs alive & the board at UK PLC need to get out of the boardroom and come & see what’s happening #taxedout #mypub #community
It’s not a normal Saturday here today . We are open early from 12-3pm, Then we are closed for a family birthday the rest of the day from 3pm Apologies for any inconvenience x

The Landlord will be buzzing & looking after to customers PROPERLY …. Old skool how it used to be …. I’ve just gotta find my spark today … I have 3 hours to get it back after today’s battering dealing with rubbishness ! #brokenbritain #iwontberubbish
Matt. Everything is broken. Service, hospitality excepted, is non existent. People avoid eye contact and pretend not to notice you. Telephone support is getting impossible. Thank God For pubs like The Wonston where the welcome is warm and the locals a good friendly bunch.
Nobody cares anymore - my postman is off sick and we now get post once a week, new bank card was returned to the bank and they stopped my account. I found out at the supermarket check out. No-one cares!
Why is our country going to ruin ?Today I’ve had a neighbour Dump 20 tons of soil outside my property on the public highway no comms zero & I spent an hour on hold at Veolia trying to find out why my glass collection hasn’t happened for over a month #taxedout #ukgoingbackwards
Well done ! , I’m Sure you’ll be able to show hour you are being #taxedout
I have had a response from my MPs office and hopefully setting up a meeting very soon. I will put her straight in the nicest way possible!
So many pubs either Dont do this enough Or dont know how to do it correctly
7am Line cleaning - behind the scenes this graft makes the service sparkle ! Lots of landlord time this morning to think & reflect all that I’ve learnt & seen in the 10 quick years of being a Publican. Headwnds? It’s a force 10 gale at the mo! #changes #taxedout #bii

💯 yes wholeheartedly agree with you
A quick question. Any other #hospitality owners spending every minute of downtime (I use that phrase with caution) repeatedly checking socials? Quoting, reposting, responding, hash tagging etc etc as we know we’re being #taxedout
Like this …..
