Carl Sargeant AM Welcomes Relief For Welsh Businesses
Carl Sargeant AM has welcomed the announcement that businesses will receive further relief from rates next year.
The Labour-led Welsh Assembly Government has announced it will be lowering the level at which business rates bills are calculated.
According to the Federation of Small Businesses, around 64,000 businesses in Wales will see a real-terms reduction in their business rates bill.
Carl Sargeant said: “Once again Welsh Labour is offering practical solutions to helping businesses in Alyn & Deeside through this economic downturn.
“More than 45,000 businesses in Wales are already benefiting from the Assembly Government's small business rates relief scheme, and around 20,000 receive other types of relief.
"Businesses in Flintshire can also be granted discretionary hardship relief if the local authority believes it is in the local interest."

My Business rates will be going up 60% in April 2010. Other traders in my local town are facing rises of up to 300%. Mr Sargeant in April 2009 spoke of limiting business rates to only 2%. How can this be justified?
