The outcome of the 2026 revaluation and the announcement of the new #businessrates multipliers this autumn will be watched with interest. More than 100 large supermarkets ‘at risk of closure’ thanks to business rates reforms thegrocer.co.uk/news/more-than…
With the introduction of new Duties to Notify on the horizon, I suspect the focus will shift to compliance, as so the VOA can draw on HMRC's experience in this area

The Government has announced that the functions of the Valuation Office Agency, an Executive Agency of HMRC, within HMRC, by the end of this financial year. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statem…

Entering new markets with a focus on sustainable solutions positions E&C companies to secure a competitive edge, diversify their portfolios and build resilience against fluctuating domestic markets and workforce issues. bit.ly/4ahtGBu #EnC #transformation
So, a change of Government but again the #businessrates system finds itself landing in the 'bit too difficult' basket when it comes to fundamental reform #Budget2024 I think this has been the story for almost all of my career
As expected, Charity Relief for #businessrates removed from Private Schools from April 25 #Budget2024
Retail, Leisure and Hospitality relief for #businessrates cut from 75% to 40% from April 25, but £110k cap remains #Budget2024
New #businessrates multipliers to be introduced from 2026 for retail properties and a new multiplier for higher value properties
Small business multiplier for #businessrates frozen at 49.9p in the £ for 2025/26 #Budget2024
VOA warning of false claims of #businessrates appeal deadlines gov.uk/government/new…
The main manifestos on #businessrates Conservatives - Increase multiplier for distribution warehouses Labour - Replace rates with property tax that raises the same income LibDem - Replace rates with Land Value Tax Reform - Abolish rates for small/medium high street firms
Some other #businessrates changes in the #springbudget. Empty Property Relief “reset period” will change. A property will need to have been occupied for 13 weeks before empty relief can be claimed (currently 6 wks). Govt will also consult on a General Anti-Avoidance Rule @PwC_UK
New #businessrates relief for Film Studios in #springbudget should help with the increase in Rateable Values in 2023, but will the relief be restricted by Subsidy Rules? @PwC_UK
Business rates are frozen for smaller businesses but many will be paying more from April 2024 pwc.to/3GbJ0kV
As expected the 75% retail hospitality and leisure relief for #businessrates will be extended for another year. #autumnstatement2023
The 6.7% increase to the #BusinessRates multiplier in April 24 will go ahead, but only for larger properties. Properties under £51,000 Rateable Value will have their multipler frozen for another year #AutumnStatement
First time back in our @PwC_UK East Midlands office after a refresh. Looking smart !
