Sainsbury的CEO批评英国商业税率税制度, 主张削减20%, Sainsbury's CEO criticizes UK business rates tax system, advocating for a 20% cut to save high street shops and jobs.
Sainsbury的首席执行官Simon Roberts批评英国的商业税率税制度“不再适合目的”, 警告说计划增加将会导致数千个高街道关闭和失业。 Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts has criticised the UK's business rates tax system as "no longer fit for purpose", warning that planned increases will lead to thousands of high street closures and job losses. 该公司支持将零售公司的营业利率降低20%的呼吁,认为现行制度已成为零售业的沉重负担。 The company has backed calls for a 20% cut in business rates for retail companies, arguing that the current system has become a significant burden on the retail industry. 发展经济学的研究表明,根据目前的通货膨胀轨迹继续增加可能导致大约17 300家商店关闭,到2033/34年税收损失近5.5亿英镑。 Research by Development Economics suggests that continued increases based on the current inflationary trajectory could result in the closure of an estimated 17,300 shops and a loss of nearly £5.5bn in tax revenue by 2033/34. 然而,削减20%可以保护并有可能创造17 000个零售就业机会。 A 20% cut, however, could protect and potentially create 17,000 retail jobs.
