Business rates
The amount that local businesses pay is calculated by applying a multiplier set by the Government to the rateable value of a property.
The Government introduced a new system of accounting for Business Rates from 2013 / 14 in that the 兔子先生 is now allowed to retain a proportion of Business Rates collected with the Government grant being reduced accordingly.
