Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance when the regional rates increase for 2025-26 will be presented to the Executive for discussion.

Answer:

The Executive has now formally agreed my proposals for the regional rate for 2025/26.

This reflects the levels already published prior to Christmas in the draft Budget 2025/26.

My Department will now make and lay the legislation for the Assembly to agree the required Statutory Rule at the start of March.
