Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect to issue a call for evidence as part of the fundamental review of business rates, announced on 11 March; and when they anticipate that review to complete.
On 21 July, HM Treasury published a Call for Evidence for the fundamental review of business rates. The Call for Evidence invites stakeholders to contribute their views on ideas for reform on all elements of the business rates system and on alternative taxes.
As set out in the Call for Evidence, the fundamental review will have an interim report in Autumn 2020, ahead of concluding in Spring 2021.
The Call for Evidence can be found on the gov.uk website.
