House of Commons
30 April 2025
The Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Act changes how non-domestic (business) rates are calculated, with a focus on private schools. It has completed its passage through Parliament and received Royal Assent, so it is now law.
The bill has completed passage through Parliament and received Royal Assent, becoming law. Lords amendments were rejected by the Commons as part of the process.
In the Commons, divisions on motions to disagree with Lords amendments produced large Aye majorities (roughly 300+ to 100–180 No in most votes). Labour (and other pro‑government groups) backed the government’s stance, while Conservative and several other parties largely opposed the amendments.
