answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2019 answer text <p>Since Budget 2016 the Government has introduced a range of business rates measures in England, worth over £13 billion over the next five years. These include doubling Small Business Rate Relief from 50 per cent to 100 per cent for eligible businesses and raising the threshold for 100 per cent relief from £6,000 to £12,000. As a result, over 655,000 small businesses –a third of all rateable properties – pay no business rates at all. We have also switched the annual indexation of business rates from the retail price index to the consumer price index, representing a cut in business rates every year. Switching to CPI will help all ratepayers and save them over £6 billion over the next five years. The retail discount announced at the Budget provides eligible retailers with a third off their bills for two years from April 2019.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 17/04/2019 14:24:25 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government does not collect data on the number of housing transactions which fall through. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the fall through rate is around 25 per cent, which is why the Government is working with industry to trial reservation agreements which will increase commitment between buyers and sellers and should reduce the failure rate.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 17/04/2019 13:15:07 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
