Answer
I have advised the Assembly that a review of business rates will commence when the non domestic Revaluation has bedded in.
The review will begin in June with an Innovation Lab, which will help define the scope of the review and advise on its conduct. Informed by this work, my Department will draw up terms of reference before summer recess which will include timelines and milestones for the work.
