FSFRebecca Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 As you know, we are representing your views at the APPG early years and childcare meeting at Westminster next week. It would be extremely helpful if you could answer this very quick survey to give us some data to take forward. You can be anonymous! -Thank you Business rates and 30 hours survey
FSFRebecca Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Can we have a few more people filling in the survey please! It really won't take very long and it will really help us put your views across on Wednesday, Thank you Business rates and 30 hours survey
sunnyday Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Rebecca - I don't pay business rates as I am in a community building - able to fill in the rest of the questionnaire though - hope it helps 1
finleysmaid Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 like sunnyday we also don't pay rates as we are a registered charity and get relief but I have filled in the survey ...hope it helps in some way! 1
Mouseketeer Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Also charity status with 80% discount, would cause problems if we had to pay it all. Will look at the survey.

Will look at the survey. Expand Are you 'not for profit'? if so you may be able to ask for the additional 20% relief from your council...as educators of young children they often look favourably on these applications.
Mouseketeer Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 80% was the best our council would give us :-(

(just imagine what you could do with that extra money) 1
