Police Stations: Non-domestic Rates
(asked on 6th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what discussions Ministers of his Department have had with their counterparts in the Home Office on the effect of business rate changes on local police stations.
This question was answered on 14th July 2017
Business rates are based on valuations from the Valuation Office Agency and we do not intervene in their independent assessments. We have put in place a £3.6 billion transitional relief scheme for England to support ratepayers at the 2017 revaluation. The transitional relief scheme has capped annual increases in rate bills due to the revaluation.
