Business rates need fundamental reform.
An outdated system continues to place an unfair burden on businesses operating from high streets, town centres and city centres across the UK.
I’m supporting the Real Rates Reform Alliance, which brings together organisations including UKHospitality, the Institute of Directors and the British Independent Retailers Association, and its proposal for a Hybrid Business Rate.
The model would substantially reduce property-based business rates, balanced by a modest levy on eligible online sales, creating a fairer system for businesses operating on and offline.
Business rates reform has been promised for years. What businesses need now is meaningful change, not another round of incremental adjustments.
With the Autumn Budget on 28 October, now is the time to put fundamental reform firmly on the Chancellor’s agenda.
If you’re a CEO, founder, director, managing director or senior business leader, add your name to the open letter by 5pm 6 October.
