Local Government Minister, Carl Sargeant has announced an extension to the small business rate relief scheme in Wales.
The Minister has agreed that the measure announced in respect of England by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his budget speech will apply in Wales.
Carl Sargeant said "This is excellent news for business in Wales. Around half of small businesses in Wales will pay no business rates for the year from 1 October 2010 and roughly 20% more will see their business rates significantly reduced. This is a real boost for small businesses across Wales. Most will get help with their rates and will see savings of up to £1,200.”
