520 _aOutlines recommendations for reforming business rates ahead of the Autumn Statement 2014. These include linking annual increases by CPI rather than RPI, restoring the pre-2008 availability of relief from paying empty property rates and replacing five year revaluations with annual ones. Suggests comparing UK systems with those used in other countries for example the annual computerised revaluations used in the Netherlands, linking increases to economic performance so that rates could go up and down according to the state of the economy and extending relief for small businesses including exempting properties with a rateable value of less thatn £12, 000 from paying business rates.
