Dear Rachael Reeves,
Firstly, congratulations on your appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer and we must welcome you on your aspirations for growth.
Small businesses, social enterprises and charities can all play a part in this.
May we ask you consider taking 3 simple steps to assist this sector
1. Raise the VAT threshold to 150k to enable businesses get established before being faced with disproportion burdens of tax administration
2. Withdraw the imposition on small business to opt into workplace pensions where their employees are already of state pension age
3. Review the way small businesses are dealt with in Employment tribunals and bring in a equality of evidence rather than presumption of guilt on the small businesses. Employment law should be less about procedural deadlines but the substance of what was reasonable for an employer to determine.

Leader of The Liberal Party
