answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2019 answer text <p>At Budget 2018, the Government announced a £675 million Future High Streets Fund to support local areas in England in developing and funding plans to make high streets fit for the future. Alongside this, the UK Government announced a business rates discount of one third for small retailers in England for two years from April 2019. As high streets funding and business rates are devolved, the Barnett formula has been applied to both in the normal way, and it is for the Devolved Administrations to decide how to use this additional funding.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 29/01/2019 16:13:13 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2018 answer text <p>The government recognises business rates can represent a high fixed cost for small businesses on our high streets. This is why at Autumn Budget 17 the Chancellor announced cuts of £2.3bn to support businesses and improve the fairness of the business rates system.</p><p>This builds on both Spring Budget 2017 which provided £435m of support following the recent revaluation; and Budget 2016 which announced major reforms worth almost £9bn over five years, including permanently doubling Small Business Rate Relief.</p><p>On the issue of online retail, the government is currently reviewing the wider taxation of the digital economy. This includes ensuring international corporate tax rules deliver fair results across different businesses and that sellers operating through online marketplaces pay the right amount of VAT.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 07/02/2018 15:41:26 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
