UP to 1,020 shops and pubs in Warrington could be eligible for cuts of up to a third on their business rates.
Estimates published by the Government suggest they could be entitled to reductions of £1,000.
The changes, which came into effect at the start of the new tax year, on April 1, mean nearly 300,000 small shops in England should benefit
In some cases this could give a typical small shop, pub or restaurant with a rateable value of £10,000 savings of 30 per cent extra or more when compared to last year’s business rate bill.
In addition, all businesses can now choose to spread their bill payments over 12 monthly instalments rather than 10.
Businesses which are unsure if they are eligible should seek professional advice.
