BYDD FERSIWN GYMRAEG O’R NEGES HWN YN CAEL EI GYLCHREDEG YN FUAN

The Minister for Business, Enterprise, Technology and Science has established a task and finish group to consider the current business rates regime in Wales and to consider whether business rates can be used to support economic growth. The Group is chaired by Professor Brian Morgan and they will be considering views of relevant representative organisations and individuals over the next couple of months, with a view to reporting back to the Minister in March, 2012. Consequently, a call for evidence has been placed on the Welsh Government website and is available to download from Monday, 5th December, 2011.

I am contacting you as the Group are keen to receive views from Welsh chambers of trade and commerce, economic fora and other organisations with an interest in this field. The document, which gives details of how to provide written submissions, can be accessed at the Non-domestic business rates pages of the Welsh Government website:-
