The Treasury Committee have completed the first stage of an inquiry into Business Rates to scrutinise how Government policy has impacted business.
Phase 2 will be held in 2020 and 2021.
The committee report listed my submission about why shops are left empty due to “vacant rates”, but the Conclusion and Recommendations were on a far grander scale. The detail within the submissions from rating experts is a true education on the subject, and I would urge landlords and tenants to make their views known during the second stage.
