It would come on top of plans already being considered in places like Wales and Edinburgh
People holidaying in the UK could be made to pay an extra up to £12 per person per night 'tourist tax', according to reports - with the money charged both to people visiting the UK and Brits staying in the UK for a break. MailOnline says Chancellor Rachel Reeves is considering the move in a bid to help close the Government's Budget black hole.
The tourist tax would be paid by foreign guests to the UK and UK holidaymakers taking a staycation alike. Wales is already looking at a visitor levy - which would be applied at different rates by different local authorities. UK holidaymkers travelling to some foreighn destinations already pay a tourist tax. A Treasury spokesman said: 'We do not comment on tax speculation outside of fiscal events."
And it comes as increases in the Government’s borrowing costs have sparked concern that the Chancellor will be unable to meet her debt and spending targets, requiring either tax rises or deeper spending cuts when she delivers a fiscal statement at the end of March.
