P-04-486 Act Now and Help Save the High Street Shops
We call on the National Assembly to urge the Welsh
Government to provide support for independent traders in our towns by extending
the small Business Relief Scheme to a greater number of businesses.
We would like to see a scheme that is similar to the one
operating in Scotland where commercial properties with a rateable value of up
to £18,000 get relief of between 25% and 100% on a sliding scale.
We believe that the Welsh Government’s decision to postpone
the revaluation of businesses from 2015 to 2017 does not allow the impact of
the economic downturn in the High Street to be reflected in the business rates.
