VATs The Problem campaign

We’re writing to you to ask for your support with a campaign that is very close to our hearts.

ZAPT Laser Tag is supporting the VATs The Problem campaign, spearheaded by Tom Kerridge. The campaign is lobbying the Government to secure a permanent reduction in VAT for hospitality and leisure attraction businesses. You can show your support for us and other UK family leisure attractions by visiting the VATs The Problem website and signing the campaign petition.

A VAT reduction will help ensure family leisure attractions like ours around the UK can continue to offer fun and healthy experiences to families in our communities as well as continue to provide valuable employment to our mainly young workforces.

The proposal is not simply about reducing costs for operators as there are some specific and very important benefits that active leisure attractions such as ours bring to local communities:  

- Protecting and creating jobs, particularly for young people

- Keeping activities affordable for families  

- Continuing to promote healthier and more active lifestyles, particularly for children

- Enabling businesses to invest more in facilities and help keep the UK to continue having the most innovative active leisure attraction sector in Europe  

Once you’ve added your name, please forward this email, or send the campaign website www.vatstheproblem.co.uk to your colleagues, family, friends and community groups so they can show their support.

Thanks for reading this and for your support.  

Beth and Chris Walthew, and the team at ZAPT Laser Tag
