Mayors to be given power to charge ‘tourist tax’ on overnight stays

What no one is mentioning is the extra bureaucracy for business owners to take and account for this new tourist tax. The regulatory pressures on anyone running a business now are enormous & not an incentive to run a business! @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/article/804e...

I argued for this for more than two decades in Bristol. Long overdue. But it needs to be hypothecated for spending on culture and tourism so that there is a return for this who pay and a benefit to the people of the place.
