Travelodge warns on taxes
TRAVELODGE yesterday warned the government that plans to build new hotels across London could become “unviable” because of “extortionate charges” it faces from the community infrastructure levy (CIL).
In a letter to Eric Pickles, the local government secretary, Travelodge managing director Paul Harvey said that the budget hotel chain plans to develop 95 hotels across London.
However, it is facing a £27m tax bill from 19 London boroughs because of CIL.
