‘It’s not fair’: cafe owners frustrated over exclusion from business rates cut
Business owners in England say prioritising venues selling alcohol leaves vital community spaces behind
中文導讀
英國政府近期推出商業差餉減免措施,但唔少咖啡店東主表示不滿。佢哋認為政策過分側重酒吧等賣酒場所,令咖啡店呢類重要社區空間被邊緣化,無法受惠於減稅優惠。呢個情況反映出政府喺制定經濟政策時,未必能照顧到所有類型嘅小商戶,亦令唔少經營者質疑政策嘅公平性,擔心會影響社區小店嘅生存空間。
