Consultation and Options Considered
6.Throughout the Review of Rating Policy there has been widespread public consultation. The options for change in both the domestic and non-domestic sectors were originally set out in the 2002 consultation paper. This was followed up in 2004 when a policy paper on reform of the domestic sector was consulted upon. Finally there was further consultation in early 2005 on proposals for the non-domestic sector. Consultation reports on both sectors were published in March and October 2005 and April 2006 setting out the way forward.
