DLUHC, Investment Zones Scheme

  • DLUHC is proposing to introduce the Investment Zones Scheme, which aims to support investment and the development of economic clusters in areas in need of levelling up through tax relief. The scheme is estimated to amount to £160 million over a period of 10 years.
  • Our key takeaways from the Subsidy Advice Unit (SAU) report are:
    • If decision making under a scheme is to be devolved to other bodies, it should be clear how the impact of this is to be managed.
    • Always fully consider how elements of a scheme’s design can lead to competition being distorted, and further how this could be mitigated.
    • Remember to identify the specific policy objective of a scheme upfront.
