What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to transfer the administration of mandatory charitable rates relief from local authority non-domestic rates departments to an independent, third sector-led or community focused system. This will ensure that applications from volunteer-led charities are considered with a proper understanding of how voluntary organisations operate, rather than through a narrow revenue collection and enforcement lens.
