The Bill would change when non-domestic rating lists (used for business rates) must be prepared by rating authorities, adjusting the timing of those lists. It also includes related provisions, but does not change the rates themselves. The overall aim is to change the administrative dates around how these lists are compiled, not the level of business rates.
The bill has completed its Commons stages in 2019 and is now in the Lords, specifically at Committee stage. It began its journey in the Commons and has moved to the Lords for further consideration.
