To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the additional administrative capacity required by local government to take on any new tax powers.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the additional administrative capacity required by local government to take on any new tax powers.
The government works closely with local government to identify the capacity implications of devolved powers. This includes the Overnight Visitor Levy where Strategic Authorities will be the tax authority responsible for the administration of the levy. Government will work closely with Strategic Authorities interested in using the power and will assess any financial implications in due course.
At the Local Government Finance Settlement, we confirmed a total of £99.6m of funding over the Spending Review period to support existing eligible Strategic Authorities’ staffing and administrative costs, and central corporate functions. Government will also set out further detail on support for MSA capacity and capability later this year building on the Rewiring the State Cabinet statement.

To ask His Majesty's Government what powers they are considering devolving to local authorities.
Local authorities are central to the Government's ambitions for economic growth, public service reform and stronger communities.
As set out in the Government's Rewiring the State Cabinet Statement (here), we are committed to shifting power from central government to local leaders and communities, including through ensuring that powers, functions and resources are exercised at the level most appropriate to achieving better outcomes for people and places.
The Government has also committed to increasing the proportion of business rates retained by local government. Further detail on our approach to devolution and the distribution of responsibilities across different levels of government will be set out in a forthcoming White Paper.

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to implement further fiscal devolution.
