Answered by Dan Tomlinson
The sector was engaged as part of the recent Call for Evidence on business rates and investment, which closed on 18 February. The Government is carefully considering representations it has received, and a response to the Call for Evidence will be published in due course.
The sector was also engaged ahead of the Transforming Business Rates: Interim Report, published in September 2025: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/transforming-business-rates-interim-report/transforming-business-rates-interim-report
