PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Solar Power: Non-domestic Rates (16 December 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of changes in the business rate on the British solar industry.

Asked by:
Sir Alan Campbell (Labour)

Answer

Business rates are based on valuations from the Valuation Office Agency and we do not intervene in their independent assessments. We have put in place a £3.6 billion transitional relief scheme to ensure that no ratepayer is unfairly penalised by the 2017 revaluation.
