Rachel Reeves总理准备在11月26日的预算中提议征收旅游税,允许英国地方市长对旅馆和Airbnb的住宿征收夜税,可能高达5%,以资助公共服务和基础设施。 Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to propose a tourist levy in her November 26 Budget, allowing English local mayors to impose a nightly tax on hotel and Airbnb stays, potentially up to 5%, to fund public services and infrastructure. 该举措是更广泛的权力下放计划的一部分,在苏格兰和威尔士遵循类似的税收办法。 The move, part of a broader devolution plan, follows similar taxes in Scotland and Wales. 虽然具体税率和结构仍未确定,但税收的目的是解决旅游业对社区的影响,创造数亿的收入。 While the exact rate and structure remain pending, the tax aims to address tourism's impact on communities and generate hundreds of millions in revenue. 招待业警告说,它可能会抬高价格、增加燃料膨胀,伤害已经很紧张的部门,批评这一政策是推翻政府先前的认捐。 The hospitality industry warns it could raise prices, fuel inflation, and harm an already strained sector, criticizing the policy as a reversal of prior government pledges. 预算还可能包括针对含糖饮料的“奶昔税”。 The budget may also include a "milkshake tax" targeting sugary drinks.
