Hi all,
After our joint submission last year, we’ve been in chats with CoopsUK about commissioning some analysis to make the case for extending the Employee-ownership tax relief to worker co-ops!
We want to model the potential economic benefits of adding this as an option. More SMEs incentivised to transition = more jobs and businesses sustained.
It would be great if someone from our membership wanted to take this on but could be a contact outside the federation.
Briefing/additional info: Improving employee buyout tax relief: research brief - Google Docs
Budget: 5k (from Coops UK)
Deadline: September (in time for the Autumn Budget)
If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please get in touch by email, mira@workers.coop !
And if you don’t have the quant skills to do this research but are generally interested in getting involved in policy stuff, I’d love to hear from you too
