Consultation description

The government is committed to dealing with avoidance in the tax system. At Autumn Statement 2014, the government announced it would open up a discussion to:

  • better understand the type and scale of business rates avoidance in England
  • find ways to tackle business rates avoidance so that all ratepayers pay the business rates that they should pay

This document builds on the work undertaken by the government’s anti-avoidance working group and requests responses from interested parties to further inform the government as to the types and scale of avoidance, as well as ideas around potential solutions.

Responses are requested by 28 February 2015.

The Department for Communities and Local Government and HM Treasury will collate responses to inform the government’s future action on business rates avoidance.
