Webinar - business rates consultation paper
Online on Teams (a recording will be available shortly afterwards)
Starts: Thu 26th October 2023, 10.00 am
In this webinar, we will focus on the likely changes to the Business Rates Retention System (BRRS) in 2024-25.
Geoffrey Whitby (from the Business Rates Retention Team at DLUHC) will attend for the first part of the webinar to talk about the recent consultation paper. He will give a short presentation (10-15 mins), and then answer questions about the consultation paper and its potential impact on the BRRS next year.
Adrian will then consider the effect of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on next year's settlement. The September CPI will be announced on 16 October 2023, and will be used to index the 2024-25 multipliers. We will also look ahead to the Autumn Statement (22 November 2023).
The webinar will run from 10am to 11.30am as usual. The presentations will finish at 11am, and there will be time for discussion and questions until 11.30am. On this occasion, we will also have specific questions for Geoffrey after his presentation (probably between around 10.15am and 10.30am).
