The Real Rates Reform Alliance brings together leading trade bodies, business associations and businesses from across the UK to champion a fairer, more sustainable approach to business rates.

The Alliance is calling on the UK Government and the devolved administrations to commission an assessment of the Hybrid Business Rate proposal, which would combine a lower business rates multiplier with a small, nationally administered levy on eligible online sales.  

Together, we are building a strong, united voice to influence government and secure meaningful reform.
