More rates relief for small businesses
There has been much lobbying from the small business sector to reduce business rates to enable traditional retailers in particular to compete with internet traders.
The Chancellor has announced a one third reduction in business rates for small businesses with premises with a rateable value up to £51,000.
New capital allowance for commercial buildings
A new 2% straight line tax deduction is being introduced for the cost of construction or renovation of commercial buildings and structures.
This tax break will apply to eligible construction costs incurred on or after budget day and will be available to commercial property landlords as well as trading businesses. The cost of the land is specifically excluded.
