Small businesses should be consulted in devolution deals, FSB claims
The FSB has welcomed the government’s devolution drive, but believes new region-city mayors should consult with small businesses and give them a voice in all tax raising decisions to ensure they are adequately represented.
John Allan, the national chairman of the FSB, said: “We believe it is crucial for a robust, transparent system to ensure that small businesses are properly consulted and have a strong voice in any tax raising decisions.
“This will help assure our members that any consultations and changes will take into account their views, and reflect the wishes of the whole business community.”
