Warehouses: Business Rates

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many and what proportion of hereditaments in England with a Rateable Value above £500,000 are internet retail warehouses.

Answered by James Murray

The Valuation Office Agency published official statistics detailing the number of non-domestic properties in England with a rateable value over £500,000, broken down by sector, sub-sector, special category and region here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/non-domestic-rating-property-counts-and-rateable-value-rv-for-properties-in-england-with-rv-over-500000.

There is no special category code for ‘internet retail warehouses’. You may find the data for ‘retail warehouses and food stores’, and ‘large distribution warehouses’ helpful.
