For the past few months, there have been a series of leaks\u00a0all along the same lines \u2013 what taxes will rise, and who will pay them?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At last year\u2019s Budget, the Government\u2019s attempts to raise money by increasing employer National Insurance\u00a0Contributions\u00a0only served to increase the pressure on businesses,\u00a0including those in the physical activity sector,\u00a0further hamstringing the sector\u2019s ability to\u00a0drive much-needed economic growth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And,\u00a0driving economic growth is\u00a0exactly\u00a0what the sector has been doing, through its own growth and\u00a0driving\u00a0the importance of physical activity to\u00a0help\u00a0get people back into the workforce. As the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/UK-Health-and-Fitness-Market-Report-2025.pdf\">UK Health and Fitness Market\u00a02025\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0showed,\u00a0the sector has achieved a population penetration rate of 16.9%, achieving a record 11.5 million members and a total income of \u00a35.7bn \u2013 an increase of 6.1% and 8.8% respectively on the previous year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The strength of the sector\u2019s\u00a0growth (despite\u00a0these\u00a0difficult economic\u00a0conditions)\u00a0stands in contrast to many other\u00a0industries and\u00a0is testament to the value\u00a0of these services to\u00a0more and more people\u00a0who are prioritising\u00a0their\u00a0physical and mental health. However,\u00a0despite this relative success,\u00a0the sector cannot afford another tax rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Parts of our sector are still struggling following\u00a0the successive crises\u00a0of the\u00a0Covid\u00a0pandemic, energy\u00a0price rises\u00a0and ultimately, higher\u00a0operating costs.\u00a0The independent sector, less able to absorb those shocks and often\u00a0operating\u00a0with\u00a0tighter\u00a0margins, has found recovery harder and its growth less stable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the public leisure side, we have seen the difficulties\u00a0facing\u00a0operators\u00a0of\u00a0swimming\u00a0pools\u00a0in particular. The recent discussions around the Government\u2019s \u00a3400m funding announcement involving\u00a0ukactive\u00a0continue and\u00a0must consider\u00a0the\u00a0long-term sustainability for these facilities, as well as the\u00a0growth of the\u00a0wider sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One\u00a0area we know will be addressed in next\u00a0week&#8217;s\u00a0Budget will be\u00a0business rates, with\u00a0the\u00a0Government confirming\u00a0it\u00a0will announce the levels for the revised multipliers, including\u00a0the higher rate multiplier for larger properties.
