It can apply at any specific rate. I would have preferred it if we had standardised it at 100%. I have seen instances in a number of towns where premises were unoccupied, often because of the financial collapse of the company or the individual operating the premises. To add to their woes with the particularly high rates we have is not something I am particularly in favour of. I would have preferred if it had been standardised.
