Rejected petition Stop ripping off UK businesses

UK business costs are always on the rise and the government/local councils must act NOW if they wish businesses to survive/thrive.
Actual costs:
Ginormous business rates + HS2 charges
Rising wages + NI employer contributions
20% VAT + Corp Tax
Utility costs
Pension contributions
Rising Rents

More details

UK Businesses are on a brink of destruction.
Local councils do not even collect your waste, they charge you to go to the tip if a commercial van regardless - why are we paying so much business rates?
HS2 charge to businesses?
Rising rents?
Huge vat bills?
Pension + NI?
Utilities costs?

With a shortage of skilled workers driving wages through the roof there's no other option but demand change on how UK businesses are put 10 feet under by ever rising costs and government taxes.

Let's all sign
