"That neatly leads me on to the point I was about to make.

In relation to purdah, we have heard about the potential overlap between the Scottish Parliament campaign and the referendum campaign, if the date were to be 23 June; that is hypothetical. I will make two observations on …..."

Written Question
Non-domestic Rates
Tuesday 27th October 2015

Asked by: Iain Stewart (Conservative - Milton Keynes South)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to allow local authorities to retain business rate revenues.

Answered by David Gauke

The Chancellor set out a radical devolution reform package for local government in his conference speech. This included plans to allow local government to retain 100 per cent of revenue from business rates to spend on local services, as well as giving local authorities the power to lower business rates to boost growth and support jobs.


While there will still be redistribution between Local Authorities to ensure those with a lower tax base do not lose out, local areas will be able to keep all local growth in their business rates.
