    That's because it's worth making twice, Keith.

    The Government set the poundage on the business rates, currently I believe 48.5 pence in the pound.
    They also decide how much each local authority will receive back.

    This then means that there are two things they could do - reduce the poundage, to lessen the cost to the businesses and give a greater proportion back to the local authorities, or treat them more equally, which they are not doing at the moment.

    This in turn would mean the local authorities receive more money from the Government so it could go to reducing the Council tax for instance, or allow them ti increase (or improve) services.
