§ Q26. Mr. Bottomleyasked the Prime Minister what is the average rate burden for each employee.
§ The Prime MinisterIt is estimated that the average level of rates paid per employee by the non-domestic sector in Great Britain in 1982–83 was about £350. This figure is based on estimated total rate income for 1982–83 adjusted by the proportion of rateable value at 1 April 1982 attributable to the non-domestic sector and on the average number of people in employment during the first three quarters of that financial year.
