BOOST FOR HIGH STREET WITH 50% CUT TO BUSINESS RATES !

In a bid to retain businesses and ‘create stronger high streets’, the chancellor has announced a 50 per cent discount on business rates for retail, hospitality, and leisure businesses in England.

For the next financial year, businesses will be able to claim a 50 per cent reduction in 2022-23, up to a maximum of £110,000.

And from 2023, a new business rates relief will support investment in property improvements so that no business will face higher business rates bills for 12 months after making ‘qualifying improvements’ to their property. This speaks to the government’s drive to meet net zero targets and hopes to encourage businesses to adopt green technology, such as solar panels.
