Visitor Levy

Asked by John SlingerLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 7 September 2026UIN 23621

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he will outline the findings of the consultation on the introduction of an overnight visitor levy in England; whether guarantees will be in place to ensure that, where revenues are collected and distributed by mayoral strategic authorities, all constituencies within those authorities benefit from the scheme; and whether revenues raised through the levy will be ring-fenced for cultural and heritage purposes.

Answered by Treasury

The consultation on the visitor levy has closed and the Government will publish a response in due course. It will be for strategic authorities to decide whether a levy is the right choice for their region and how funds should be reinvested within their areas to drive growth.
