Retailer joins Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Aldi, Lidl and others in returning funds
B&Q owner Kingfisher has joined other retailers in returning emergency taxpayer support, pledging to repay £130m it received in business rates relief.
Last week, Tesco, the UK’s biggest retailer, became the first company to say it would return business rates relief, followed by Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Pets at Home and the discounter B&M. In total, they have vowed to pay back more than £2bn to the UK government.
