YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Tom Swarbrick is joined by caller Chris from Worthing, a former local authority accountant, who shares his analysis on business tax and how he thinks the government should be handling the situation.

Sir Keir Starmer has told LBC that he's looking at "further support" for firms hit by higher business rates - including licencing laws for pubs.

A revaluation means many - including pubs, bars and restaurants - are facing much higher bills from April.

They faced much lower rates during the Covid pandemic in a bid to help them survive.

But some have warned they may be forced to close as a result of them increasing again.
