Finally, Amendments 53 and 54 focus on the amounts raised as a result of Clauses 1 to 4. My department has already established detailed processes in place to collect and report on the business rates collected by local government. In fact, we report on annual forecasts for the coming year—NNDR 1 returns—and then on the actual amounts collected by the local government, NNDR 3 returns. These are published on the department’s website at both national and local authority level and, from the 2026-27 NNDR 1 onwards, will reflect the new multipliers from Clauses 1 to 4.
