Our Towns are Dying Shops are finding it harder and harder to compete with the internet.
Closed shops don’t employ people and rates are not paid to the council to run essential services.
The shops are receiving unfair competition from the internet where All costs are much smaller making huge profits for some and adding nothing to the community.
This policy will help put the shop keepers on a level playing field
A new tax will be applied to all internet sold goods implemented at point of sale.
This tax will go to the council to where the product was delivered.
Shops selling items in traditional stores will not pay the Tax.
All retail shops will have rates scrapped to help fair competition.
This policy will help regenerate towns generate Jobs and give more funds to the council.
