Will the Minister outline a timetable of reform to business rates exemptions for small and medium enterprises?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government | Answered on 22/07/2016
Small and medium enterprises are not exempt from non‑domestic rates; they receive support through our Small Business Rates Relief Scheme. I will consider how this relief is best delivered over the summer, informed by the outcome of the 2017 revaluation currently being undertaken by the Valuation Office Agency.
