Closed Make Business Rates for the UK Manufacturing Industry free for 2020

Closed on

The Made In Group is calling for the UK Government to announce a policy of making business rates for the UK Manufacturing Industry free, 0%, for this year (2020) as a way to combat the impact that Coronavirus (COVID-19) is having on the manufacturing sector.

80% of our members are calling for the year-long abolishment of Business Rates to be extended to the manufacturing sector.

Today, we’re urging the government to inject certainty into the economy so that businesses can start to plan and avoid panic.
