No estimate has been made of the number of small businesses in Chelmsford constituency that will benefit from the extension of the doubling of small business rate relief.<\/p>

The Government estimates around 540,000 businesses in England will benefit from the extension of the doubling of small business rate relief announced at Autumn Statement 2013.<\/p>

It is planned that next month some new local figures for small business rate relief by billing authority will be published.<\/p>
