Recommendation (the committee's words)
We renew our previous recommendation that the Government implements the business rates reset and Fair Funding Review. This should include transitional arrangements to ensure stability in funding levels after reset and review. The Government must commit to a fundamental long-term review of the business rates system to ensure business taxation is fit for a modern economy.
