(This note is not part of the Order)
In relation to England, the small business non-domestic rating multiplier is calculated in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 7 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 ("the Act") for each financial year when new rating lists are not being compiled. The financial year beginning on 1st April 2015 ("2015-16") is a year when new lists are not being compiled.
Paragraph 5(3) of Schedule 7 to the Act enables the Treasury by order to specify an amount for item B in those calculations. If the Treasury exercise that power in relation to a financial year the amount so specified must be lower than the retail prices index for September of the preceding financial year.
This Order specifies that for 2015-16 the amount for item B will be 256.9.
The Order will only come into force if it is approved by resolution of the House of Commons before the House approves the local government finance report for 2014-15.
