Small Business Rate Relief

EDM number 2111 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 20/10/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Small businesses and Taxation.

That this House welcomes the current initiative to provide business rate relief to businesses that occupy a single property or several properties where the rateable values are less than £2,200; but notes that this excludes many important high street businesses which, although relatively small, operate from two or more properties; and therefore calls on the Government to extend small business rate relief to cover enterprises which have a turnover of less than £500,000 in addition to the current eligibility criteria.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
