We will compensate local authorities, in full, for the loss of income as a result of this measure, in the same way as we have done for every other reduction to business rates we have made since the introduction of the business rates retention scheme.</p><p>In addition, from April 2020, the annual indexation of business rates will be changed from RPI to be consistent with the main measure of inflation, currently CPI. The impact on local authority revenues, post-2020, of this and the other changes announced at the Budget will be considered as part of the Government’s work with the sector on implementing 100 per cent business rate retention.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 11/04/2016 17:13:58 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2016 answer text <p>There has been no reduction in Small Business Rate Relief in 2015.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2016 answer text <p>The Government has announced that, by the end of the Parliament, we will give all local councils new responsibilities in return for keeping 100% of locally raised business rates. In advance of 100% retention, devolution deals are already giving some areas the ability to keep 100% of the actual growth in business rates they achieve above a pre-determined baseline. This will give them an added incentive to grow their local economies and increase their income from business rates.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 14/03/2016 16:28:03 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

uin	HL4611
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2015 answer text <p>The Government intends to move to 100 percent business rates retention in England by the end of this Parliament. We have confirmed that as part of the new system there will continue to be redistribution of local tax revenue between authorities and protections in place for authorities that see their business rates income fall significantly. Over the coming months we will be working with local government on the details of the scheme. Ahead of final decisions, it is too early to assess what the impact will be on individual areas or authorities.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 23/12/2015 15:47:30 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
