Hospitality Industry: Business Rates
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to the HMT press release, Treasury to call time on uncertainty for pubs and hotels, 24 August 2026, whether the review will be revenue neutral.
Answered by Treasury
The review is an independent, evidence-based review of the valuation methodologies used for pubs and hotels, and is not examining the statutory basis on which business rates valuations are made. The independent reviewer will make recommendations, which the Government will consider once the review has concluded.
