The government is set to offer small firms and companies extra aid with the coming changes to business rates. After facing backlash from such companies as well as some Conservative MP’s regarding the changes, Chancellor Phillip Hammond announced that new measures set to help deal with the rates will be released to the public on March 8th. This follows on from a statement by Theresa May which also stated that the smaller companies that were affected the most by the changes will receive help from the government.
