Non-Domestic Rating (Public Lavatories) Act 2021
Summary
This Act changes how business rates (property taxes) are calculated for public lavatories. It aims to make it cheaper for councils and businesses to operate public toilets, making them more likely to stay open and accessible to the public.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means backing rules that help protect public toilets from unfair business rates (a type of tax on buildings). It could help keep public loos open and affordable by reducing the costs that councils and businesses have to pay to run them.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics might worry that reducing business rates for public toilets could mean less money for local councils, which might affect other services. Some might also question whether this is the best way to solve toilet access problems in the UK.
