Save small towns from becoming empty due to ludicrous buisness rate hikes
The new increase that has been brought in on business rates is crippling small towns. I am the owner of a buisness in a small town in North Wales. My business rates have now increased £300 a month due to my new rateable value. The system is unfair.
A shop with a lower rateable value can have sometimes free business rates. They could be selling thousands of pounds worth of items everyday. A premesis that is on the larger side may only be taking hundreds of
pounds a day and has to pay an astronomical business rate as their premesis is larger how is this fair, surely a business is a business and everyone should contribute which would lower the rates for all. Rates should be worked out on your Profit not your square meterage or takings.
