The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has said that a Welsh tourism tax should be “off the table” in the short term while the sector recovers from the pandemic.
FSB Wales has called for no additional costs and taxes for small businesses during post-Covid recovery and viewed any ‘alfresco tax’ - which would add a levy to businesses with outdoor dining spaces - as a mistake.
It said that, following winter seasons since March 2020, it was “not the time to raise the prospect of more costs and tax on a key Welsh industry that is particularly vulnerable at present”.
