The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make an estimate of the total estimated yield in non-national domestic rates from commercial properties in each district in Essex in 2025-26 and 2026-27, broken down by local authority area.

Answered by Alison McGovern

We do not collect data on national non-domestic rates by specific types of property.


However, we do collect data on net rates payable by local authorities in England. Forecast data for 2025-26 can be found here National non-domestic rates collected by councils - GOV.UK.

Data relating to 2026-27 will be published in February 2026.
