This report looks into the actual rates of taxation levied on tourists in the UK and in various destinations around the world. It shows that the UK levies a high rate of taxation on tourists already, even without a specific tourism tax, because of our high sales tax (VAT at 20%) which, unlike in many other jurisdictions, is not reduced for accommodation and other tourism services.
