Valuation

The government has introduced a support package worth £4.3 billion over the next three years to protect ratepayers seeing their bills increase because of the revaluation. If you previously received Small Business Rates Relief, Rural Rate Relief, the Supporting Small Business scheme or Retail, Hospitality and Leisure relief, you may be eligible for the Supporting Small Business scheme, which caps your bill increases. Further details can be found here.

How the rateable value is calculated

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) uses various methods to value properties. A ‘rental’ method is used most often.

The VOA gathers information about rents paid for properties. It analyses the information and works out a price per square metre. It may consider things like property age, construction and location. The price per square metre is applied to the floor area of the property.
