(asked on 3rd July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment his Department has made of the effect on the rooftop solar power market of the business rate rise for organisations investing in solar power for their own consumption.
This question was answered on 11th July 2017
Business rates are based on valuations from the Valuation Office Agency and we do not intervene in their independent assessments. It is too early for official statistics to be able to see any effect of business rates as the changes have only just taken effect.
