Launch a public inquiry into business rates and small businesses
We urge the Government to launch a public inquiry into business rates, including valuations of premises, and the impact on small businesses. We want the inquiry to consider any changes that might be needed in order to support the wider public and the economy.
We believe action is needed to protect a larger number of small businesses, and the families, towns and cities that rely on these up and down the country. Many smaller businesses are struggling to survive due to many reasons, and one of them has been business rates. We believe a public inquiry could look at possible changes to the system that could help businesses up and down the country, which can ultimately support the local and wider economy.
