Rates reform for Tynwald discussion

Proposed changes to the rates system on Island will be discussed in Tynwald tomorrow.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK, Jason Moorhouse, will ask Policy and Reform Minister, Chris Thomas MHK, if he'll make a statement on the public meetings organised to inform people of the potential changes.

Since last Friday and running until Wednesday this week, consultations with residents are being held over a potential new structure which would see rates be based on the size of a property rather than its rental value.

Meanwhile, the matter will be raised at the extraordinary sitting of the court taking place tomorrow in Douglas from 10.30am.
