We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to repeal the current empty rates legislation and restore rate relief for commercial property to pre-April 2008 levels. More details
Submitted by Laura Sandys – Deadline to sign up by: 06 April 2009 – Signatures: 5,358
The undersigned call on the Prime Minister to restore business rate relief for empty property to the levels that existed before 1 April 2008 so that all unoccupied properties receive full relief for the first three months; shops and offices pay 50% subsequently; and industrial premises receive full relief indefinitely.
This current tax means higher bills for us all. Council tax payers will be hit, education budgets will need to be cut, the NHS will have greater costs and our businesses small and large are already suffering across the country.
