A hospitality body is demanding the government lowers VAT and income tax.
The Licensed Victuallers Association hosted a meeting at the Creg ny Baa in Onchan yesterday.
It now says it wants those on minimum wage to pay less tax - and argues the government should be able to lower VAT like the Channel Islands.
In a statement, it says it refuses to 'tolerate the government's disregard for the public purse and our businesses, staff, and families'.
