Is the Government delivering on its promise to replace business rates with a fairer property tax system?
- Details of the ‘Non-domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Act 2025’ – legislation rushed through in Labour’s first months in office
- 2026 revaluation – which sectors and localities will be most affected?
- How will the rates bills be calculated from 2026? New discounts, supplements and relief schemes
- A new General Anti Avoidance Rule – designed to limit empty property rates mitigation schemes
- Further ‘modernisation’ on the way – bringing new administrative burdens for businesses
