Together, our members employ nearly one million people across the UK. We are united by a shared commitment to championing the critical role that retail plays in communities, particularly as a source of jobs and essential services in areas facing the greatest economic challenges.
The RJA was formed specifically to champion a fairer business rates system that enables shops of all sizes to invest and grow.
We believe further increases to the higher business rates multiplier will undermine future retail investment and contradict the government’s own 2024 manifesto commitment to “level the playing field between high street and online retailers."
