BUSINESS owners across Cheshire could be missing out on thousands of pounds worth of tax breaks according to a tax specialist David Rodick.

David, proprietor of TaxAssist Accountants, said that as small firms looked for ways to ride out the downturn, many were not claiming the tax relief they were entitled to.

“Traders and retailers across Cheshire could be missing out on thousands of pounds worth of tax breaks, which could help them develop their businesses and be in a better position to take advantage of the recovery” said David.

“If the rateable value of their premises is less than £15,000, they are very likely to qualify for some form of small business rate relief.”
