We need your help:

Over the past couple of years, Bira has campaigned to reduce the burden on independent businesses, especially with regard to business rates. This work has resulted in the introduction of the retail discount which will reduce rates payable by 75% as of April next year

We now want to look closer at corporation tax and the contribution made by indie retailers, many of whom are family-run businesses. PWC is already looking at this issue alongside the total tax contribution made by the smaller businesses, and we are urging you to take part in the survey. Your information provides great data to support our campaign to reduce the tax burden on smaller businesses.

If you would like to take part, please email guilherme.l.pereira@pwc.com who will provide a link to the automated data collection questionnaire (it’s not possible to provide a direct link). 

The deadline for completing and returning the template is the end of January – your input is greatly appreciated.
