support the SME sector
Dear Rachael Reeves,
Firstly, congratulations on your appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer and we must welcome you on your aspirations for growth
Small businesses, social enterprises and charities can all play a part in this.
May we ask you consider taking 3 simple steps to assist this sector.
- Raise the VAT threshold to 150k to enable businesses get established before being faced with disproportion burdens of tax administration.
- Withdraw the imposition on small business to opt into workplace pensions where their employees are already of state pension age.
- Review the way small businesses are dealt with in Employment tribunals and bring in a equality of evidence rather than presumption of guilt on the small businesses. Employment law should be less about procedural deadlines but the substance of what was reasonable for an employer to determine.
Cllr Steve Radford
Leader of the Liberal Party
US President Donald Trump.
The Liberal Party views the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump with horror and revulsion. The party condemns any form of political violence, which has no place in any democratic system of government or society. Whilst the motives of the attack remain unclear it has been a reminder of the volatile political climate and the need for moderation and engagement with others of all political believes and inclinations. The Liberal Party wishes President Donald Trump, and the other victims of the shooting a speedy and full recovery after their trauma.
The Liberal Party NEC
Britain is broken and we need real change. Formed in 1859, The Liberal Party is as committed as ever to being an active driver for change.
“I would like to thank all Liberal Party members and I am grateful for the level of support to carry on this duty to lead the party into the General election.
Campaigning under the banner ‘Stronger Communities - Opportunities for All’ we will be at the forefront calling for greater devolution and sustainable financing for local government, a dynamic economy where small businesses and community enterprises are encouraged and the streamlining of our tax and welfare system that strangles so many people from progressing themselves”.
