The Taxpayers'Alliance is proposing changes in local government law to help prevent 'unfair' business rates from damaging struggling businesses.In a new paper called Business Rates Reform, the alliance said: 'Business rates are seen by commercial enterprises, large and small, as the tax on business that is the least fairly applied, and most in need of reform.'It points to the 'sheer scale' of rates compared with rental values, rising from 34.8% on introduction in 1990/91 to 49.3% in 2018/19.
