Business rates went up over 100% in April. Loads of places going bust and the global investment companies will buy up the properties left behind

Thank you for doing this!!!! It’s so hard to get the general public to listen to the small businesses shouting about it - we need more public facing figures to be speaking up 🙏🏼

This might sound silly but why can’t the government have proportional taxes on cooperations with higher profit margins similar to how income tax is done?

Realistically we need bigger taxes on big business as we can’t just lose the tax revenue completely.
