Building on the success of the Gift Aid practical issues working group, the CTG Management Committee has decided to set up a new Business Rates working group, in which members can share experiences of business rates with other charities. A draft Terms of Reference is outlined below.
In the first instance, the group will only be open to charities – if you would like to join the group (which will involve a mixture of meetings and e-mail correspondence) please contact [email protected] to express your interest. Please also pass this invitation on to relevant colleagues.
Review emerging case law (including York Museums) and local rulings, as well as national policy developments (as responsibility for rates is devolved) including business rates retention in England and the Barclay Review in Scotland.
