Lawrie Hooper MHK says it needs an overhaul
A Ramsey MHK is renewing calls for a major overhaul of the Island’s rating system.
Lawrie Hooper says introducing an all-Island rate wouldn’t solve the problem, arguing the system itself is broken.
He brought forward reform proposals to Tynwald in July, but they failed to gain support, with government saying the issue should be left to the next administration.
Mr Hooper insists only a full shift to a capital value model will deliver meaningful change:
Amendments to Assisted Dying Bill approved by Tynwald
Bill will now be resubmitted for royal assent
Indoor play business makes 'very difficult decision' to close
All Land Play Centre faced 'many challenges'
No routine GP appointments Wednesday afternoon
Doctors attending education session
Last chance to submit nominations for local authority by-elections
