Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Act

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill modifies the nondomestic rates system (business property tax) by adjusting the multipliers used to calculate bills for different types of properties. Crucially, it extends business rate relief to private schools, treating them more favorably in the rating system than they previously were. The bill allows the government to change the multiplier rates, the percentages applied to property valuations to determine tax liability, giving flexibility in how much different businesses and organizations pay in property taxes.
