Automatic Rate Relief For Small Businesses (EDM676)

Automatic Rate Relief For Small Businesses

EDM number 676 in 2008-09, proposed by Peter Luff on 03/02/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Small businesses and Taxation.

That this House notes with concern that business rate relief is not taken up by over half of those small businesses eligible to claim it; further notes that as a result small businesses are losing out on saving up to Â£2,500 yearly; further notes that across the country around Â£400 million earmarked for rate relief to be paid to small businesses is returned to the Treasury; and calls on the Government to support the Small Business Rate Relief (Automatic Payment) Bill.

This motion has been signed by a total of 126 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
