Children's Play: Business Rates
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will meet representatives from the indoor play sector to discuss business rates reform.
Answered by James Murray
At Autumn Budget, the Government published a Discussion Paper setting out priority areas for reform of the business rates system. This paper invites industry to help co-design a fairer system that supports investment and is fit for the 21st century.
HM Treasury officials have concluded an initial phase of engagement with stakeholders who registered interest by the 15 November deadline, and the government is open to receiving further written evidence to transformingbusinessrates@hmtreasury.gov.uk until the end of March 2025.
