Sharing more information on business rates valuations
We’re making it easier for businesses to compare their rateable values and understand how they’re calculated.
From 1 April 2023, we’ll be publishing more information on business rates valuations. This will include:
- the comparable values of similar properties
- the factors that have been taken into account when calculating the rateable value
- information on how to appeal against a rateable value
This information will be available on our website and through our business rates advisors.
We’re making this information available to help businesses:
- understand how their rateable value has been calculated
- compare their rateable value to similar properties
- make informed decisions about whether to appeal against their rateable value
We know that business rates can be a significant expense for businesses, so we want to make sure that businesses have all the information they need to make informed decisions about their rates.
This change is part of our ongoing commitment to improving the transparency and fairness of the business rates system.
How to access the information
From 1 April 2023, you can access the following information on our website:
- the comparable values of similar properties
- the factors that have been taken into account when calculating the rateable value
- information on how to appeal against a rateable value
You can also request this information from our business rates advisors.
What to do if you disagree with your rateable value
If you disagree with your rateable value, you can appeal against it. You can do this by contacting the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
The VOA is responsible for valuing all non-domestic properties in England and Wales. They will consider your appeal and make a decision on whether to change your rateable value.
