How business rates are calculated

Revaluation

What is revaluation?

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) regularly updates the rateable values of all business and other non-domestic properties (properties that are not just private homes) in England and Wales. This is called a revaluation.   

Revaluations are carried out to reflect changes in the property market, which means that business rates bills are based on more up-to-date information. 

The latest revaluation came into effect on 1 April 2023.
