The last round last year in England and Wales served 289 pubs, they calculated the Association of British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA).
At the end of December, they were estimated that the door closed 412 pubs.
From the beginning of 2020. and the beginning of the coronacrize Britain remained without just over two thousand pubs.
Most of them are closed in London, a total of 34, showed final data. In December, the BBPA was estimated that the key in the lock put them in 55.
The owners have closed them under pressure from higher borrowing costs and high-speed energy. Their problem was weaker demand, allegations in the Association, pointing out that citizens were due to the higher costs of mortgages and tenants saved more.
In April, the pubs will be gripped by higher health insurance contributions and the minimum wage, with the assessment of the BBPA that the Government Budget provisions will cost them £ 650 million (EUR 781 million).
Many companies will face even higher costs since April and because tax benefits in the catering, free time and retail sectors will be reduced from 75 to 40 percent.
The government should also amend the tax on real estate companies in urban centers, including pubs, to mitigate the burden to the sector, Hina transmits.
The closure of a large number of pubs can be avoided because the turnover is good, the executive director of BBPA Emma McClarkin emphasized.
Citizens want to visit pubes, but the profit of caterers swallow astronomical accounts, and from April there are even more costs and levies waiting for them, McClarkin says.
The government must urgently introduce the “reasonable” tax rates and gradually introduce new employment costs to make pubs continue to support the economy, jobs and keep the position of the “heart” community, say from BBPA.
