What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

UK inflation climbed to 3.5% in September, a rise driven by the Middle East conflict pushing diesel costs to record levels. This figure determines the annual uprating of business rates in England, setting the basis for a £1.1 billion increase next April unless the Chancellor intervenes. The increase includes £244 million for offices and £302 million for industrial property.
