BRC joins with other trade bodies to demand business rates reform

The BRC joined forces with other business organisations bodies today to demand action on business rates.

A joint letter to the Chancellor, signed by the BRC and other business groups including the Confederation of British Industry, the British Property Federation and the Association of Convenience Stores, called for four principles to be incorporated into the forthcoming review of business rates to ensure that it results in real change. Without these, high streets and town centres will continue to suffer from this broken tax.
