Clause 13
Business Rate Supplements Bill
6:30 pm
Philip Dunne (Whip, Whips; Ludlow, Conservative)
A property that was subject to business rates may become vacant and then subject to the empty property levy, which is a modest discount to the full rate, but no longer benefits from the relief that it used to secure. If that property ceases to be habitable for any reason and is therefore no longer subject to empty property relief, would it cease to be leviable for BRS if it ceased to be leviable for normal business property rates?
