Why counties could drop some revenue sources on CRA model

Counties may be forced to drop loss-making revenue streams and duplicated charges, as a new model obligates them to do a cost-benefit analysis before imposing fees on businesses.

The Tariffs and Pricing Policy model wants the devolved units to base trade fees on firms on a pricing model that compares spending on collecting a charge and the amount to be netted to avoid current cases where some counties are “spending a shilling to collect a shilling”.
