In fact, the UK has the lowest corporation tax rate in the G7.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the UK also has a higher VAT registration threshold than any EU member state and second highest in the OECD – which keeps the majority of UK businesses out of VAT altogether. We have also put in place a generous package of Business Rates relief worth £13.6 billion.</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to invest in the 38 Growth Hubs providing businesses across England with free one-to-one support and advice. Growth Hubs offer a triage, diagnostic and signposting service to make sure that all businesses, whatever their size or sector, know what help is available and can access the most appropriate support.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 26/04/2023 14:13:09 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies
