Tourist tax to be introduced across England
Devolved mayors in England can impose a modest levy on overnight stays, with potential revenue supporting local transport, infrastructure, events, and visitor economy growth.
- A tourist tax will be introduced across England, according to officials, to allow cities to invest in infrastructure and the visitor economy.
- The tax could raise up to £17m each year in Liverpool, which would "stay local and be reinvested in the things that make our region stand out", according to Steve Rotheram.
- While some support the levy to promote economic growth, industry groups warn it could drive up costs for consumers and undermine efforts to reduce the cost of living.
