Budget2020: Rates scrapped for shops and cafes

Not sure why a shop with a rateable value of £49k, would get a 100% discount. And a shop with £60k rateable value gets no discount whatsoever.. shouldn't this relief be on a sliding scale?Larger retail and leisure chains are unlikely to benefit from the rates holiday. State aid rules include a cap on the amount of tax relief a business can claim over three years. Most large firms will have already reached the limit as a result of rates relief provided in previous years.

Another change that was widely anticipated was a cut to Entrepreneurs' Tax Relief. Business owners who sell their firms on were entitled to tax relief on profits of up to £10m over their lifetime. The tax relief has been scaled back rather than abolished, with the lifetime limit reduced to £1m. Business rates relief for small firms, an offer to give firms more time to pay tax, and cash grants of £3,000 to virus-affected small firms will be welcomed. But many will feel the criteria are too prescriptive and a more general hardship fund would have been more appropriate for a situation where the impacts are hard to predict.

Mike Cherry, chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses said the chancellor's measures would help reinject optimism into business.

A chance for small businesses to compete against Amazon whilst also an attempt to save the highstreet and commercial landlords. If its not profitable, just shut up shop and move on before the year is up.
