Major UK retailers including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Primark are rallying against looming business rate hikes, warning that higher taxes will push up everyday prices and threaten the survival of high streets. They argue that as anchors for local economies, their ability to invest and employ is vital — and any tax increase could force them to raise prices or cut back, hurting both consumers and surrounding businesses like pubs and restaurants. Labour’s proposed discount for pubs and venues has sparked concern that larger retail properties — including online warehouses — may face even steeper rates next spring. The retailers are urging exemption from increased multipliers, insisting that fairer taxation must support, not strangle, community vitality.
