Rate for food and attractions to drop to 5% next week
The 5% VAT rate on food and attractions will be a welcome boost for the "suffering" hospitality industry.
That's according to Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly.
The Isle of Man Government confirmed it will reduce the rate from next Wednesday until 12 January next year in line with an announcement by UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak earlier this week.
Despite the impact on the Island's income, Mr Skelly says it's a much needed step:
Bus drivers gather at picket lines
10-day strike got underway this morning
Sea Terminal improvements to begin next month
Key arrival points to be 'enhanced'
TUC and Bus Vannin urge public not to be abusive to bus staff during strikes
Drivers 'deserve fairness, not vilification', says trade union group
Contingency timetable takes effect as bus drivers stage strike action
Ten day walkout gets underway
