Greene King boss calls for change to business rates to help pubs
The Guardian
|July 14, 2025
The boss of pub chain Greene King has called for changes to business rates to remedy "unfairness" that he said added to financial pressures on the struggling pubs industry.
Nick Mackenzie, Greene King's chief executive, said the business rates system of property taxes should be changed to a tax on profits.
The British pub industry has complained it is under pressure from increasing costs. The trade group the British Beer and Pub Association said last week it expected pub closures at a rate of more than one a day during 2025, adding to the 350 net closures during 2024. It said business rates were a factor in those closures.
