Out of Home Advertising: Unlocking Investment in Infrastructure
Between 2008 and 2021, the Out of Home advertising industry invested £1.1 billion in social infrastructure across the UK. However, the business rates regime has a disproportionate and detrimental effect on the industry, restricting the industry’s ability to invest in local communities, and putting at serious risk the ability of Local Authorities to comply with the Government’s own Net Zero Strategy. These effects will only be compounded by the Non-Domestic Rating Bill. Exempting social infrastructure sites from business rates will unlock additional investment directly into local communities.
