Our business rates system is broken. It's holding back 🇬🇧
✖️Uncompetitive- 4x higher than 🇩🇪 ⁉️
✖️Unproductive- it taxes businesses that invest in better ways of working & green tech
✖️Unfair- It penalises areas of slower growth holding back #levelingup

Business shares the Chancellor’s ambitious vision for a high-growth economy driven by science, technology and innovation. The government can rely on the skills, ingenuity and delivery capability of business to realise this vision.
After speaking with 100s of businesses this week it’s clear, optimism is draining & firms are in crisis management mode. Worker shortages, energy prices & CO2 threaten recovery, Govt needs to step up its response to a new level. We will help. Let’s seize the moment & get growing.
