THEY FINALLY LISTENED AND THE 25 PERCENT REDUCTION IS HAPPENING!! THIS IS A MASSIVE VICTORY FOR EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS OWNER IN DONEGAL!! WE HAVE THE WIN BUT WE ARE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO ENSURE EVERY CENT IS SAVED!!
Ballybofey and Stranorlor Chamber of Commerce working with the wider Donegal business community are demanding a 25% reduction in commercial rates. Following the recent introduction of the new property tax the time has come now to see a reduction in the commercial rate.
Recent comments from Minister Phil Hogan challenging local authorities to reduce their rates and development charges on businesses, should be acted on immediately.
Commercial rates should be halved in the current climate. It's just another form of taxation and a further expense that businesses cannot afford!

Our Public Sector Authorities need to listen to and fully understand the realities faced by private business owners in the SME sector. The future of our towns and villages depends on full and fair partnership between public and private. Unsustainable and unrealistic commercial rates are a one way ticket to failure for both sides and ultimately our communities.

25% is the bare minimum honestly. business is way down and the rates are just too high for what we are taking in.
