Business Rates

Thank you for participating in Saqib Bhatti MP’s Business Rates Survey.

The survey is aimed at local businesses in the Meriden constituency and is part of the Treasury’s business rates consultation over the summer. (Responses are also welcome from businesses beyond the constituency and any stakeholders who may be interested). 

The Business Rates Survey will collect the views of local businesses on the current rates system and on possible ideas for reform. The responses will feed into the Treasury’s national consultation which will consider respondents’ views when shaping future policy.
