Answered by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government

The figures for 2027-28 onwards in the answer to question UIN HL323 published on 4 June 2026 include the effect of transitional relief associated with the 2026 revaluation reducing over time and ending by 2028-29.

As is usual, any transitional relief support aligned to the 2029 revaluation will be considered and announced once the effects of the 2029 revaluation are known.
