Measure
Consultation on an Online Sales Tax
The government has announced it will be considering the arguments for and against an online sales tax, which if introduced would fund a reduction in business rates. No details are currently available on how, and to what size of business, such a tax might apply if it was introduced.
As noted by the Treasury in the consultation responses to the Business Rates Review there are likely to be a wide range of views on the introduction of an OST. It is clear that the government has not yet made a decision on whether to proceed with an online sales tax.
