News reports tell us of the problems the UK government is encountering from America, as it tries to introduce a digital sales tax, to level the bricks and mortar /online playing field.
Commercial Property Advisors (CPA) is keenly aware of these threats to company liquidity and urges firms not to waste a moment in re-examining their business rates.
