For Brexit Success: Abolish Business Rates and Make Up The Difference in VAT.

Petition Details

UK Businesses are grossly overcharged in business rates without bearing on the revenue they generate. Almost 4% of UK GDP is from these rates, verses 0.65% in the rest of Europe. UK businesses have to charge more to compensate, making them less competitive. Move to VAT would level the playing field.

For a small change in VAT the burden is removed from British Business.
