Jason Sugarman, Conservative Parliamentary candidate for the Lewes constituency added his voice to encourage local firms and entrepreneurs in the Lewes area, to run and and grow new business.
More firms have gone bust during this recession than in any previous downturn. Latest Government figures show that since November 2009, 10 companies have gone bust and 431 people faced bankruptcy.
New Conservative proposals would end Labour’s practice of pushing thousands of businesses into bankruptcy over small amounts of unpaid taxes. Labour claims that small businesses are being given time to pay their taxes, but in fact, they are being pushed into insolvency. Conservative plans would save jobs and businesses.
Conservative plans will also reduce small company corporation tax rates to 20p; to make small business rate relief automatic in England, and that could save small firms up to £1,260 per year. David Cameron would also abolish tax on the jobs created by new businesses in the first two years of a Conservative Government.
Jason Sugarman said:
“To move out of recession, local firms in Lewes area need a strong helping hand to help create new jobs and expand their businesses. Conservatives will remove the obstacles in the way of new firms and stop the taxman kicking local firms when they’re down.
“The message from Labour Ministers is ‘don’t start a business, don’t buy your home, don’t try and leave money to your children, don’t try and get on’. They’ve made it so difficult to employ people and so difficult to start a business. We can’t go on like this, and it’s time for change.”
