Exempt businesses whose offices have closed due to Covid-19 from business rates

Petition Details

We would like the Government to suspend all business rates for offices which are unable to operate during COVID-19 due to lockdown.

Additional Information

Currently, the Government is assisting small businesses only. As a medium sized business who has come to a complete operational halt, and have had to furlough all of our staff, we simply will not survive this period without this relief. We have no income whatsoever, which has already had a drastic, almost fatal, impact on our business. Having to provide business rates will be lethal for us. We do not see a future for British businesses post COVID, unless the Government takes this into account.
