Extend Employee Owned Business tax benefits to worker co-ops.
Workers.coop and Co-operatives UK have been working together on a response to a Government consultation on the Taxation of Employee Ownership Trusts and Employee Benefit Trusts.
Our shared response is here (74.4 KB) written so you don’t have to. But the more worker co-ops that respond directly the greater our voice.
TDLR: Employee Owned Businesses get a tax benefit worker co-ops don’t get and we are asking for it to be extended to worker co-operative societies as well.
