SNP GOVERNMENT DELIVER OVER £30M WORTH OF NON-DOMESTIC RATES RELIEF IN SOUTH LANARKSHIRE

SNP MSP for Rutherglen Constituency, Clare Haughey has welcomed the news that over 6,000 properties in South Lanarkshire have received over £30 million worth of non-domestic rates relief this year, thanks to SNP Scottish Government policies.   Non-domestic rates relief lowers bills for eligible organisations, through initiatives like the Small Business Bonus Scheme.   The scheme has been designed to help businesses by lowering their bills depending on their premises’ rateable value – an estimation of how much rent it could earn if let on the open market.
