Impact indicator: growth in business rates yield

Business rates yield growth within Enterprise Zones

#### How the figure is calculated:

The figure is calculated as the value of business rates relief plus the value of business rate yield minus the baseline level of business rates yield, across all enterprise zones. The data are taken from the Department's National Non-Domestic Rates 1 statistical returns, and are forecasts as reported by local authorities for the financial year 2015-16

#### Why is this indicator in the business plan?

Enterprise Zones are a key local growth initiative, designed to stimulate new businesses and jobs. The growth in business rates yield can be used as an indicator of how successful Enterprise Zones have been at attracting and growing businesses however, these are gross figures and have not been adjusted for additionality.

#### How often is it updated?

Annually. NNDR 1 forms, providing a forecast for the year ahead, are published in February prior to the financial year to which they refer. Provisional NNDR 3 forms, providing outturn figures, are published in August of the financial year after which they refer. A further revised release, based on auditor certified returns is published later in the year (November).

#### Where does the data come from?

Based on data returned to the Department for Communities and Local Government by English billing authorities on National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR1) forms and the NNDR3 form.

#### What area does the headline figure cover?

England

#### Are further breakdowns of the data available?

Data are available by local authority.

#### What does a change in this indicator show?

An increase in the growth in business rates yield can be used as a proxy for the gross increase in economic activity in an Enterprise Zone (created by new or expanding businesses). The business rate yield figures are not adjusted for additionality.

#### Time Lag

NNDR1 forms are a leading indicator, NNDR 3 forms are published five months after the end of the financial year to which they refer.

#### Next available update

February 2016.

#### Type of Data

Official Statistic

#### Robustness and data limitations

The financial data contained in the NNDR1 form will be used by billing authorities and major precepting authorities to agree a schedule of payments for the share of business rates income that is to be paid to major precepting authorities. The data will also be used in calculating the entitlement that individual local authorities might have to safety net payments. It also informs other payments that need to be made under the business rates retention scheme, both between billing authorities and major precepting authorities, and between the Department for Communities and Local Government and local authorities.
This statistical release is based on 100% response rate on information provided by Friday 30 January 2015. Local authorities therefore have a very strong financial incentive to report accurate financial figures on the NNDR1 forms. The form also has to be signed by the Chief Finance Officer of the authority.
Figures are subjected to rigorous pre-defined validation tests both within the form itself, while the form is being completed by the authority and also within the Department for Communities and Local Government as the data are received and stored. Finally, the release document, once prepared, is also subject to intensive peer review before being cleared as fit for the purposes of publication.

企业区域税率增长情况

#### 如何计算该数据：
该数据通过计算企业税率减免的价值与企业税率收益的价值之和，再减去所有企业区域的企业税率收益基准水平得出。数据来源于部门国家非住宅税率1统计报告，并按地方当局预报的2015-16财政年度数据预测。

#### 为什么这个指标在商业计划中？
企业区域是关键的地方增长倡议，旨在刺激新企业和就业。企业税率收益的增长可以用作衡量企业区域吸引和增长企业成功与否的指标，然而，这些数据为毛额数据，未进行调整。

#### 更新频率如何？
年度更新。NNDR 1表格，提供对未来一年的预测，将在相关财政年度前二月份发布。相关财政年度后的八月份发布临时NNDR 3表格，提供实际数据。基于审计员认证的进一步修订版将在同年晚些时候（十一月）发布。

#### 数据来源？
基于英格兰地方当局提交给社区和地方政府部门的非住宅国家税率（NNDR1）表格和NNDR3表格的数据。

#### 标题数据覆盖的区域是哪里？
英格兰。

#### 是否有进一步的数据细分？
数据可按地方当局细分。

#### 该指标的变化意味着什么？
企业税率收益增长的提升可以用作企业区域（由新企业或扩张企业创造的）经济活动毛增长的一个代理。企业税率收益数据未进行调整。

#### 时间滞后
NNDR1表格是先行指标，NNDR 3表格在相关财政年度结束后的五个月内发布。

#### 下次更新时间
2016年二月。

#### 数据类型
官方统计数据。

#### 数据的稳健性和限制
NNDR1表格中的财务数据将由地方当局和主要预征当局用于商定支付给主要预征当局的企业税率收入的分摊支付计划。数据还将用于计算个别地方当局可能享有的安全网支付资格。它还用于计算根据企业税率保留计划需要做出的其他支付，包括地方当局之间的支付以及社区和地方政府部门与地方当局之间的支付。
本统计发布基于2015年1月30日星期五之前提供的信息的100%响应率。因此，地方当局有很强的财务动机在NNDR1表格上报告准确的财务数据。表格还必须由当局的首席财务官签署。
数据在地方当局填写表格时、在数据接收和存储时以及在社区和地方政府部门内部都经过严格的预定义验证测试。最后，一旦准备就绪，发布文档还将接受密集的同侪审查，以确保其适合发布目的。
