Retailers coming together to ask the Chancellor to do more to fix the "broken business rates system"

It is good to see retailers joining together to ask the government to do more to address one of the key pressures faced by retailers and the retail sector. It will be interesting to see how central government respond to the persistent and increasing calls for change. 

Bosses of more than 50 retailers including Asda and Boots have written to the chancellor urging him to change tax rules to boost the UK High Street. The group said it wanted him to fix the "broken business rates system", which it called outdated.
