The Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) has welcomed several of the recommendations made in the Barclay Review of Non-Domestic Rates but also expressed a desire to see further action taken to help the hospitality sector in Scotland. In its reaction, the ASSC – the only organisation representing Scotland’s self-catering sector – praised some of the review’s recommendations as being helpful to the prosperity of the sector but also noted the need for development in some areas.
The ASSC warmly welcomed the action proposed in the Barclay Review on a Business Growth Accelerator for establishing business in Scotland and believes doing so will be a boost for the Scottish self-catering and hospitality sector. The Association also gave a reserved welcome to the proposals for three year revaluations but also drew attention to the need for an opportunity to have further input on this issue. Given that Barclay was developed with input from the ASSC, the Association hopes that its contributions will continue to be welcomed.
