    Councillor Phil Davies, Leader of the Council, said:

     

    “The Council is required to have a Scheme in place which details the support available to businesses and charities in the form of Discretionary Rate Relief. This report provides this Scheme to Cabinet.”

     

    National Non Domestic Rates or Business Rates was charged on all non-domestic properties and as a national scheme had been in place since 1990. Alongside the billing of properties there were a number of reliefs and exemptions available to help meet liability.  These may be part of the national scheme or via local discretion which each local authority decided upon.

     

    Councillor Phil Davies introduced a report that sought approval of the Council’s National Non Domestic Rates Discretionary Rate Relief Scheme (Appendix 1) to be effective from 1 April 2017.

     

    This was a Key Decision and affected all wards within the borough.

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    That the Discretionary Rate Relief Scheme (Appendix 1) to this report be approved as the Council Policy for 2017/18 onwards.
