Business and Other Briefings
CLG: Small businesses & local shops will find it easier to get their tax cuts as the Government scraps form filling rules to help increase take up. To help eligible businesses claim their tax cut in the future new measures in the upcoming Localism Bill will end the legal requirement for ratepayers to fill in an application form first.
Councils will be free to administer Small Business Rate Relief in a way that best serves local businesses and local needs. The Government will also amend secondary legislation to ensure that all eligible businesses automatically have their discounted bills calculated using the small business multiplier.
