Description

The Non-Domestic Rating (Nursery Grounds) Bill modifies the definition of "agricultural building" within the Local Government Finance Act 1988.

Retroactive Application:

The amendment applies retrospectively: from April 1st, 2015 in England and April 1st, 2017 in Wales.

Government Spending

The bill will reduce government revenue through a decrease in non-domestic rates collected. Exact figures on the reduction are not provided within the bill itself and would require further analysis.

Groups Affected

The bill will primarily affect:

  • Nursery ground owners and operators in England and Wales: They will benefit from the exemption, resulting in cost savings.
  • Local authorities in England and Wales: They will receive less revenue from business rates.
