Council Tax: Valuation

Asked by Sir James CleverlyConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 16 March 2026UIN 118523

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the answer of 2 February 2026 to Question 107997 on Council tax, valuation, whether the new council tax surcharge will entail new value significant codes; and whether new codes were created for the council tax revaluation in Wales.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is developing its approach to the High Value Council Tax Surcharge and will set out more details in due course, alongside the government's consultation in 2026.

For the Council Tax revaluation in Wales, the VOA has not collected additional codes over and above those already used within England and Wales.
