Trouble Balancing the Books? The announcement made recently in the budget to cut Business Rates will certainly help. From April 2019 small retailers will benefit from a business rates discount, cutting their bills by a third for two years. The discount will be available to occupied retail properties with a rateable value below £51,000. This could mean £1,000’s saved over the next two years. The relief will be available to a range of retail properties including, but not limited to, shops, restaurants, pubs, and hairdressers. Unfortunately certain services such as professional services and estate agents will not be eligible. Further guidance will be published by the year end but if you fancy a read now then have a look here.
