Business Rates Revaluation 2026

From 1 April 2026 The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has now released the new Rateable Values for England and Wales

The revaluation has seen some considerable increases in bills for some rate payers and the Government has, as usual after each revaluation, introduced a transitional relief scheme whereby increases in bills are phased in over three years.

If you believe your rateable value is incorrect or want to discuss the valuation further please contact the Valuation Office Agency via the following methods;

Transitional Relief Scheme

Properties subject to large increases in rateable value as a result of the revaluation will benefit from the Governments' Transitional Relief Scheme. The scheme is designed to limit the impact of the rateable value change. There is no requirement for you to apply for this relief and your new bill will show the award automatically, if applicable.
