The Government published a Call for Evidence on 21 July, as part of its Fundamental Review of Business Rates, to gather views from stakeholders on all elements of the Business Rates system and a number of alternative taxes including an Online Sales Tax.

One of the objectives of the Call for Evidence was to understand the impact of business rates on various sectors, including retailers.

The Government is considering responses to the Business Rates Review and will respond in due course.
