The uk government currently views fibre-optic cable as a " rateable asset " , lumping it in with other commercial property as something with value that businesses should pay tax on .
英国政府正将光缆认为是“可估价资产”,将其与其他需要缴税的有价值商业财产归为一类。
Rateable values are derived from the expected amount of rent that a property can achieve in the open market . They are thus subject to fluctuation in line with market conditions .
