Join Retail Week's campaign against soaring rates bills

Retail Week’s Rate Rage campaign aims to stop the government increasing business rates in 2009 and 2010.

Experts fear a rise of 5 per cent in 2009, adding £300 million to retailers bills, and a rise of as much as £1 billion following the 2010 revaluation.

Already some of the sector’s biggest names, including Sir Stuart Rose, Sir Terry Leahy and Sir Philip Green have lent their support, but we need yours too if we are to persuade the government to reverse these rises, which have huge potential to harm the industry at the worst possible time.
