Are business rates driving High Street retailers out of business? Do they need reform? Or should we even scrap them altogether and replace them with a tax on the value of the land business occupy? What would be the impact of such a change, and who would be the winners and losers?
With politicians from Westminster to Edinburgh looking closely at the issue of land taxation our expert panel will discuss the future of the taxation of commercial property and the options for policy-makers in the years ahead.
Speakers:
Rachel Kelly (Senior Policy Officer (Finance), British Property Federation)
Jerry Schurder (Head of Business Rates, Gerald Eve)
Peter Wyatt (Professor of Real Estate Appraisal. University of Reading)
Timings: Tuesday 18th June, refreshments from 6pm
The debate will commence at 6.30pm, concluding by 8pm and will be followed by a drinks reception.
