First Minister, I’ve been contacted by a number of constituents who have expressed concern over the level of their business rates, which is putting a strain on their business finances. As they fall outside the threshold for small business rate relief, they have to pay the full business rates, irrespective of the affordability. Unless these small business owners find smaller, cheaper premises than these properties they are stuck with huge rates bills. What plan does your Government have to raise the rate relief threshold and ensure that rate relief has an affordability consideration?
