Local MP Presents Petition on Caravan Tax to House of Commons.

 

Sandra Osborne MP has joined more than twenty other MPs of all parties in presenting petitions to Parliament this week opposing the proposed 20% VAT on static holiday caravans. 

Sandra said;

There are strong feelings on all sides about this proposal which would cost thousands of jobs across the UK and is unlikely to generate significant revenue for the Treasury.  I attended a detailed briefing this week from representatives of caravan parks throughout the UK and I will be meeting shortly with representatives of local caravan parks to discuss how we can take the campaign forward. 

This is of the utmost importance to the tourist industry in Ayrshire.
