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.
