What it means for your Luton company
Luton's economy leans on the airport, vehicle manufacturing and transport, so many limited companies provide ground services, taxi and private-hire transport, catering and engineering. Taxi and private-hire operators face specific VAT and vehicle rules, while airport suppliers deal with shift payroll and tight contract margins.
