Answer
The Executive will make decisions on the level of Regional Rates as part of the Budget process. I anticipate bringing a draft Budget to the Assembly in the coming weeks.
Once the Executive’s Budget is settled, and the decision has been made on the regional rate poundage for 2021/22, my Department can proceed to make and lay the required Statutory Rule to legislate for the poundage, and present this for scrutiny by the Finance Committee and debate at the Assembly.
