The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many hereditaments are used for (a) distribution and (b) warehousing by Amazon in England and have a rateable value of £499,999 or below.

Answered by James Murray

Due to legislation protecting taxpayer confidentiality, I am unable to disclose information about individual ratepayers or properties.

The Non Domestic Rating Lists are publicly available to view and can be searched by postcode and Special Category Code.

The Valuation Office Agency also publishes statistics on the Non Domestic Rating Stock of Properties on gov.uk.
