Tesco to repay nearly $779 million it received as Covid-19 business rates relief

UK’s largest supermarket chain Tesco said it will repay the £585 million (nearly $779 million) of business rates relief it received during the Covid crisis. This comes after criticism that the supermarkets didn’t need the help as they enjoyed a sales boost during the pandemic. Thanking the government, Tesco said the relief was a game changer that ensured customers got the essentials they needed.
