Business Rates depend on your business property’s rateable value. The Valuation Office Agency set rateable values.
The Valuation Office Agency usually re-evaluate properties every five years, and give your property a new rateable value. Their most recent evaluation took effect from 1 April 2023.
You can look at GOV.UK to find out how the Valuation Office Agency calculate rateable values for Business Rates.
If you disagree with your rateable value, you can appeal to the VOA.
