Business Rates: Valuation

Asked by Daisy CooperLiberal DemocratTreasuryTabled Answered 19 January 2026UIN 105303

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 19 November 2025 to Question 90360 on Business Rates, when the Valuation Office Agency provided the draft valuations for the 2026 Rating List to her Department.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

HM Treasury does not receive the full ratings list, as that would require data on named individual businesses to be shared, which would impact taxpayer confidentiality.
