To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the cost to local government of collecting business rates in England in each of the last three years.
Data reported by local authorities in England on the amount spent on collecting non-domestic rates for 2014-15 to 2016-17 can be found in the tables below:
Financial year | Total service expenditure for non-domestic rates collection | Total income for non-domestic rates collection | Net current expenditure for non-domestic rates collection |
| £ million | £ million | £ million |
2014-15 | 90.8 | 73.8 | 17.0 |
2015-16 | 86.6 | 75.5 | 11.1 |
2016-17 | 93.2 | 81.8 | 11.4 |
Local authorities are able to offset the costs of collections through fees and charges, which is shown in the table as income. Additionally, under the rates retention system, we give billing authorities an “allowance” made up of business rates income, for which they retain 100 per cent, instead of having to share it with central government and their major precepting authorities.
