PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Hinkley Point C Power Station: Non-domestic Rates (22 November 2017)

The Government believes that it is right to provide stability and certainty for local government in terms of whether hereditaments should be assessed on the central list or local ratings lists. As part of its commitment to greater rates retention the Government intends to set out a clear statement of policy for which properties and ratepayers should be assessed to the central list.

The Government believes that the core purpose of the central list will be, as now, to provide a home for hereditaments which by their nature are not suitable for being assessed on a local rating list. Such hereditaments are likely to be those spanning several local rating list areas and not primarily located in one list.
