Bira slams government for delivering 'worst Budget for independent retailers'

Independent retailers body British Independent Retailers Association has condemned today's Budget as the most damaging for independent retailers in recent memory, with a triple blow of doubled business rates, increased National Insurance, and higher minimum wage costs threatening widespread high street closures.

Bira, representing over 6,000 independent retailers across the UK, reports the reduction in business rates relief from 75 per cent to 40 per cent (capped at £110k) from April 2025 will more than double costs for many retailers.

This comes alongside employer National Insurance contributions rising from 13.8 per cent to 15 per cent, with the earnings threshold slashed from £9,100 to £5,000, and the minimum wage increasing to £12.21 per hour for over-21s.
