Whether it's granted or on what conditions not are secondary matters.

You do talk a load of crap, you really are an angry old man, full of opinion but if you were ever in a position to make a decision on the countries finances you would explode.
Go and cuddle up to your blow up doll of Jeremy Corbyn and sleep well.

If you have a very small shop you get a business rate exemption in some areas which is why some coffee shops and florists are tiny.

It's a pity I am not in charge of country's finances, because unlike Gidiot/Camoron muppets I know how to run my personal finances - I spend less than I earn.
Originally posted by Waldorf View PostVAT isn't paid by the businesses, it's paid by the end consumer, so the likes of Google and Amazon would thank you for abolishing business rates and increasing VAT, they would be much better off.
Amazon uses warehouses in cheap places, so not a lot of business rates, Google only got office HQ so overall business rates on them is minimal. People who get slaughtered by rates are local businesses run by self employed people - the very people that Tories should be inspiring to start their own business.

By the way - "pro-business" Tory Govt will move give control over business rates to local councils - in exchange Govt cuts its grant for same value, pretty obvious that councils will be increasing business rates rapidly since there is no cap.
Birmingham's business rates email query response SLA is 3 weeks, getting through via phone line is next to impossible.
Thanks Tories.

Originally posted by AtW View PostThey pay very little business rates already, it's small businesses on High Street that get destroyed by crazy rates - pubs, restaurants etc.
Business rates should not exist - VAT should be 25% of which, say 5% goes to local authority.

Originally posted by AtW View Postbtw, there should NOT even be such a thing as "business rates" - businesses provide jobs and pay many other taxes, that's more than enough.
Please forward this memo to Starbucks, Amazon & Google.
