Localis respond to NNDR consultation
Author: Localis - Oct 24, 2011
We at Localis have long been active in arguing for a new system of National Non-Domestic Rates, and are delighted to be feeding into the government's consultation. A reformed NNDR, we believe, can form a vital cog in any growth strategy for the coming years – driving improved economic performance from the bottom up.
In March this year we published a report – The Rate Escape: Freeing Local Government to Drive Economic Growth – which argued for a more localised business rates system, and proposed a model for how this system could work.
Localis' full response to the NNDR consultation can be found here.
The full report can be found here.
