Brighton MP encourages local businesses to sign letter to Chancellor lobbying for business rates action
Caroline Lucas MP has asked local businesses to get behind a campaign to extend the current Business Rates holiday.
In the letter Ms Lucas writes:
“We are writing ahead of the budget on 3rd March to urge you to extend the temporary full business rates holiday, that has been in place for the retail, hospitality, leisure and childcare sectors, into the 2021-22 financial year, and potentially longer.
As Brighton and Hove businesses, we face a cliff edge when business rates become due again from April. We are worried that the welcome support for businesses provided by the Treasury to date will be undermined if, as is likely, we cannot survive the demand for business rates to be paid from April.”
To co-sign the letter, please visit this link. Signatories need to be uploaded by 5pm on the 17th February 2021.
