Non-Domestic Rates (Scotland) Bill: business and regulatory impact assessment

Test run of business forms

In parallel with the Bill, the Scottish Government has established working groups to deliver the administrative Barclay Review recommendations for example to deliver standardised no-domestic rates bills and a national list of non-domestic rate relief recipients. These groups have worked closely with the business community through the FSB and the SCC to user test forms prior to introduction. It is planned that the same consultative process will be adopted for any new forms such as valuation notices or information gathering templates.
