Brunnschweiler asking gov to extend VAT cut to drinks
The boss of Bushys is calling on the Manx Government to help pubs that don't serve meals.
VAT on food served in hospitality was cut from 20% to 5% earlier this week.
Martin Brunnschweiler would like to see this also being applied to alcoholic drinks served in pubs and restaurants to give the sector a real boost.
He believes some businesses face hard times and tough choices unless support continues:
Wetherspoons to open its first Isle of Man pub
Pub chain giant to take over 1886 in Douglas
Crosby Wastewater Treatment Works nears completion
Multi-million pound project to be finished on time and within budget
Bus Vannin thanks public for support during Anagh Coar collision
Motorists diverted away from the area during response
UK legislation 'infinitely less draconian' than Island's safe access zones proposals
Campaigner to speak at public meeting this evening
