In his budget statement released Wednesday, Reeves set new tax rates for commercial properties with a taxable value exceeding £500,000, a move aimed at filling a public finance gap. Major UK retailers, including Tesco and Sainsburys, had warned that the tax increase would exacerbate their operating burden under the dual pressures of food inflation and rising wages. However, the UK government emphasized that the overall tax burden on retailers would be reduced through lower tax rates for small and medium-sized stores and transitional support for large taxpayers. Reeves noted that "warehouses used by online retail giants" would be subject to higher tax rates, with the resulting revenue used to provide tax relief for over 750,000 retail, catering, and leisure establishments – echoing the governments promise to increase tax payments by companies like Amazon in the UK.
