Sign and share the business rates petition
An official petition asking Government to exempt all early years settings in England from paying unfair business rates and be zero rated for VAT has been launched.
Nursery owner Debbie Moliterno has launched the Parliamentary petition, supported by National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) and Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
Research by NDNA reports that the average nursery in England pays £21,000 per year in business rates. For many, bills are much higher especially in London and other large cities. The revaluation exercise in 2022 increased bills by an average of 40% for nurseries in April 2023.
