Increase for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported policies that benefit small businesses, such as lowering taxes for them. They have also advocated for measures to ensure that large multinational corporations pay their fair share of taxes. For example, in their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they proposed a 'start-up allowance' for new businesses and a review of business rates to reduce burdens on small businesses.
