    At the moment HMRC set the rate, local councils send out the bills. collect the dosh then hand over to HMRC who then decide how much to send back to local councils. Unfortunately they have been sending the most up north irrespective of whether an area needs it or not and the "affluent" South gets very little back. Parts of East Kent are amongst the most deprived parts of the country and parts of the Wirral do not have corner shops but designer clothing emporiums, jewellers and high performance car showrooms in Lieu. Unfortunately our politicians rarely venture into the real world.


    I believe this is changing next year to a system where every local authority keeps what they collect from the business rates, will be interesting to see how this pans out in reality.
