## Resource

The UK holds the heaviest commercial property tax load among major economies, according to a new report. This burden is expected to increase, with property tax receipts projected to surpass £37 billion by 2026-2027. The hike is partly due to property value reassessments across England, Wales, and Scotland. While the government has offered specific help for certain businesses, many others, like hotels, are concerned about their property tax bills. The heavy tax on property could hinder companies investment plans, as businesses are carrying a larger tax load than they should, affecting industries requiring significant physical assets and long-term cash. The systems design, tied to inflation and policy shifts, creates a tension between raising revenue and supporting business growth.
