My Department is in regular contact with Her Majesty\u2019s Treasury to closely assess the impact of COVID-related support measures on the hospitality industry.<\/p>

Hospitality businesses can continue to make use of the Government\u2019s comprehensive support package - including the various loan schemes, a significant cut to VAT until the end of March, plus business rates relief for eligible hospitality, retail and leisure businesses.<\/p>

When it launches in November, the Jobs Support Scheme (JSS) will help protect jobs within businesses facing lower demand due to COVID-19. We have also announced an expansion of the JSS to provide temporary support to businesses whose premises have been legally required to close as a direct result of Covid-19 restrictions<\/p>

We continue to engage with stakeholders through the Visitor Economy Working Group to assess how we can most effectively support employers and employees within the hospitality sector.<\/p>
