Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Housing and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:34 pm on 3 February 2021.
Thank you, Minister. Perhaps there needs to be more flexibility in the discretionary fund, because those gaps are still there.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies have undertaken a review into domestic and business rates and stamp duty. They're suggesting that the current system for collecting business rates is no longer fit for purpose and should be scrapped and replaced with a fairer system, which would then result in attracting more businesses to our town centres and encouraging those already there to stay. Has the Welsh Government looked into alternative ways of collecting?
