The Northern Ireland (Regional Rates and Energy) (No.2) Act 2019 received Royal Assent on 26 March 2019. The Act introduced a revised long term tariff structure for the NIRHI Non-Domestic Scheme. During passage of the Act the Department committed to establishing a unit, under an independent chair, to consider the individual circumstances of any NIRHI participant who believe they face financial hardship as a result of participating in the Scheme.
This call for evidence will help inform the form and function of the unit.
