Commenting on an announcement by the Labour Welsh Government of a 12-month review into non-domestic rates relief, Peter Fox MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Finance and Local Government said:
“You don’t need to commission a 12-month review to understand that struggling businesses the length and breadth of Wales are crying out for support now.
“The Labour Welsh Government has slashed business rates relief, unlike in Conservative-run England, effectively doubling the already highest rates in Britain for the Welsh retail, hospitality and leisure sector.
“The Welsh Conservatives would reinstate business rates relief at 75%, reversing Labour’s punitive tax rise.”
