Public Houses: Business Rates

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 10 December 2024UIN 17132

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will publish a list of the Rateable Value of each pub in England by (a) address, (b) local authority and (c) Rateable Value.

Answered by James Murray

The VOA makes the Non-Domestic Rating (NDR) lists publicly available. This is to allow a person “access to information to enable them to establish the state of the list” and is set out under paragraph 8(1) of schedule 9 of the Local Government Finance Act (LGFA) 1988.

To fulfil this statutory function the VOA publishes the Rating Lists at: www.gov.uk/find-business-rates

The address, local authority and rateable value of each property is included within these lists. The advanced search function allows users to select properties by special category code and to filter by pubs using codes 226 and 227.
