Business Rates: Tax Allowances
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to (a) increase and (b) discontinue business rate reliefs in 2025-26.
Answered by James Murray
The government is committed to delivering a fairer business rates system by levelling the playing field between the high street and online giants, better incentivising investment, tackling empty properties and supporting entrepreneurship.
Any decisions on future tax policy will be announced by the Chancellor at a fiscal event.
