Help to lift small business tax break take up
Small businesses and local shops will find it easier to get their tax cuts as the Government scraps form filling rules to help increase take up, Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles announced today.
The normal tax discount for small businesses, known as Small Business Rate Relief, has already been doubled this year, but the Government also wants to help as many as possible claim the discounts they are eligible for.
Mr Pickles is clear that helping small shops and businesses grow is a crucial part of rebalancing and rebuilding the economy.
