When you add the new NI threshold dropping to \u00a35,000, it feels like we\u2019re being punished just for keeping people employed. If we try to increase our prices by even 50p to cover these costs, customers understandably complain because they\u2019re feeling the pinch too. We\u2019re caught in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would absolutely urge the Mayor to speak up for us. Small businesses like Eatalia are what make London\u2019s streets special, but we can\u2019t keep absorbing these hits. Between the NI rise, the council hikes, and the drop in consumer spending, the math just isn\u2019t working for independent hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Mayor needs to tell the Chancellor that if they want London to stay vibrant, they have to stop making it so expensive to run a business and employ local people. A reversal of the NI rise would be a massive help, but honestly, if they could also lower VAT for hospitality even by a little bit, it would be brilliant. It\u2019s the only way we can keep our prices fair for the neighborhood while still keeping our doors open.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nico Desaio is another passionate advocate for lower taxes on businesses who feels City Hall is not doing enough to back London\u2019s entrepeneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am getting killed by the taxes, they are killing me as an independent business,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s heavily impacted our business \u2013 it\u2019s extra expenses where we really don\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the biggest mistake that this government has made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe only opened in September 2024 \u2013 it\u2019s an extremely difficult situation for businesses in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur margins are getting really small \u2013 soon, people in London will have to pay \u00a39 for a pint, which isn\u2019t realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRaising these taxes is a major mistake \u2013 it will kill the economy. I know 20 independent venues which have shut down in the last three months alone. It\u2019s a sad situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Mayor should stand up for us \u2013 firstly on business rates. He needs to focus on saving independent businesses, but he seems to be focused on making London a 20mph zone instead. London\u2019s economy is collapsing. I don\u2019t think the Mayor doesn\u2019t realise this \u2013 he\u2019s very smart and knows the economy, but he won\u2019t stand up against his own party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-southwark-news wp-block-embed-southwark-news\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"B\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Qk6Mn5SY9K\"><a href=\"https:\/\/southwarknews.co.uk\/news\/news-plus\/its-the-worst-its-been-in-20-years-southwark-pub-landlords-tighten-their-belts-amid-tax-hikes-and-dry-january\/\">&#8216;It&#8217;s the worst it\u2019s been in 20 years\u2019 &#8211; Southwark pub landlords &#8216;tighten their belts&#8217; amid tax hikes and Dry January<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;&#8216;It&#8217;s the worst it\u2019s been in 20 years\u2019 &#8211; Southwark pub landlords &#8216;tighten their belts&#8217; amid tax hikes and Dry January&#8221; &#8212; Southwark News\" src=\"https:\/\/southwarknews.co.uk\/news\/news-plus\/its-the-worst-its-been-in-20-years-southwark-pub-landlords-tighten-their-belts-amid-tax-hikes-and-dry-january\/embed\/#?secret=WX3SzG6mSt#?secret=Qk6Mn5SY9K\" data-secret=\"Qk6Mn5SY9K\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-47524318892afebc9d7f6595ec143f5f\"><strong>Pressure in City Hall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sir Sadiq Khan\u2019s Deputy Mayor for Business Howard Dawber was questioned by two Conservative Assembly Members last month over whether he backed Chancellor Rachel Reeves\u2019s decision, but refused to give an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cBusinesses have every right to identify everything that has a detrimental impact on their ability to employ people.

None of us like seeing a reduction in public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, if the government does not get on top of the deficit, do not be surprised if the markets mean we are paying more in interest, which means, rather than either providing public services or tax cuts, we are having money leaving our country by going to interest rate repayments. I do not want that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spokesperson for the Mayor added said he is proud to be London\u2019s \u201cmost pro-business Mayor ever\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A government spokesperson told the LDRS: \u201cWe have the right economic plan \u2013 we\u2019re reforming business rates to back high streets, with a \u00a34.3bn support package to limit bills rises, alongside capping Corporation Tax at 25%, cutting red tape and taking action on the cost of living to boost the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-southwark-news wp-block-embed-southwark-news\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"Qplk70LIZaONkh4zSgtFHpUL2eYBlEMTK6WQxi7AF3HRw5cVOXEKR58A2yfrsNJfj9odnPYoDJvB4xmwng9UcsP\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"TvB9K3x72J\"><a href=\"https:\/\/southwarknews.co.uk\/area\/london\/mayor-announces-30-million-for-late-night-youth-clubs-in-london\/\">Mayor announces \u00a330 million for late-night youth clubs in London<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Mayor announces \u00a330 million for late-night youth clubs in London&#8221; &#8212; Southwark News\" src=\"https:\/\/southwarknews.co.uk\/area\/london\/mayor-announces-30-million-for-late-night-youth-clubs-in-london\/embed\/#?secret=3NbISVDVsl#?secret=TvB9K3x72J\" data-secret=\"TvB9K3x72J\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punitive tax rises are stretching London\u2019s hospitality sector to its limit, local business owners have claimed.
