The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Answer of 2 March 2026, to Question 113648, on Business Rate: Tax Yields, if he will place in the Library a copy of the business rate data and forecasts passed by his Department to the OBR in the last 12 months.

Answered by Alison McGovern

The Office for Budget Responsibility sets out the process for the forecast and information it requests from my department.

For information on the business rates forecast up to 2028-29 for England only, I refer the Rt Hon. Member to the answer to question UIN HL323 on 4 June 2026.

Business rates receipts are estimated to be £37.6bn for both 2029-30 and 2030-31 in England, including both local and central lists.
