Tourism Alliance published a new report: “Taxing Tourists: The UK vs Competitor Destinations.” “Taxing Tourists” looks at 12 overseas destinations and what level of taxes are levied on tourist accommodation, including sales tax and ‘tourism taxes’, compared to the UK.
Key findings
· Because of the high rate of VAT on accommodation in the UK (20%) tourism accommodation here is taxed higher than almost all other destinations we looked at – even those with a dedicated tourism tax.
