The current welfare freeze, which was announced in 2015, runs from 2016/17 to 2019/20. As such, the cost of resuming the uprating of frozen benefits from 2020/21 is already accounted for in the welfare forecast \u2013 which combines DWP, HMRC and BEIS AME expenditure. The OBR does not routinely disaggregate the cost of uprating within the forecast.<\/p>"}

The Government concluded the last fundamental review of business rates in 2016. Respondents to the review agreed that property based taxes are easy to collect, difficult to avoid, relatively stable compared to other taxes, and that they have a clear link with local authority spending.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has taken repeated action to reduce the burden of business rates for all ratepayers. Reforms and reliefs announced since Budget 2016 will reduce rates by more than £13 billion over the next five years. This includes switching from RPI to CPI indexation, increasing the frequency of revaluations, increasing the threshold for the standard multiplier to £51,000, and doubling the threshold for Small Business Rate Relief from April 2017, which means 655,000 of the smallest businesses now pay no business rates at all.<\/p>"}

The European Supervisory Authorities - which includes the European Securities and Markets Authority - are a part of the EU\u2019s joint supervisory framework for financial services. The UK\u2019s future position outside of the EU will mean that the UK is no longer part of the joint supervisory framework.<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of preparations for leaving the EU in any scenario, HM Treasury has delivered a programme of legislation under the EU (Withdrawal) Act designed to ensure that the UK\u2019s regulatory regime is workable. These preparations include transferring certain regulatory and supervisory functions currently carried out by the ESAs to the appropriate UK regulator, including the FCA, where the transfer of those functions is necessary to ensure an operable regulatory regime at exit.<\/p>
<\/p>
If the UK leaves the EU under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement reached between the UK and the EU, the UK\u2019s exit preparations would be delayed until the end of the agreed Implementation Period. Market access arrangements would continue and the UK would remain part of the joint supervisory framework, with ESA functions continuing to apply to the UK, until the end of the Implementation Period.<\/p>
<\/p>
In any exit scenario, we expect UK regulators to continue to work closely with their counterparts in the EU. This is demonstrated in the Political Declaration agreed between the UK and the EU on the future relationship, in which both sides commit to close cooperation on supervisory and regulatory matters.<\/p>"}

We also recognise the important role that digital technology hubs, such as Level 39 in Canary Wharf, have played in promoting the adoption of technology in the UK banking sector, and we are engaging with industry to explore how we can further support digital technology hubs in the UK.<\/p>"}

The Government has published a detailed set of economic analyses on the long-term impacts of EU exit on the UK economy, its sectors, nations and regions and the public finances \u2013 covering multiple EU exit scenarios. The analysis finds that the spectrum of outcomes for the future UK-EU relationship would deliver significantly higher economic output than the no deal scenario.<\/p>
<\/p>
In keeping with the government\u2019s ambitious free trade agenda, the analysis assumes that, in the long run, the UK secures agreements with a broad range of potential trading partners, including, but not limited to, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and other members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. The analysis estimates that in the long run these trade agreements could increase UK GDP by up to 0.2 percentage points.<\/p>
<\/p>
The complete analysis can be found in the \u201cEU Exit: Long-Term Economic Analysis\u201d paper, which is available on the Gov.uk website in Exiting the European Union: Publications section.<\/p>"}
