Written Question
Non-domestic Rates: Valuation
Monday 9th October 2017

Asked by: Adrian Bailey (Labour (Co-op) - West Bromwich West)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether he or officials of his Department have raised concerns with (a) HM Revenue and Customs or (b) the Valuation Office Agency on the potential effects for businesses of the judgment in the Mazars v Woolway case.

Answered by Marcus Jones

The Government is aware of the change in the Valuation Office Agency’s approach to assessing units within buildings of multiple occupation, which follows the Supreme Court judgement in the Mazars v Woolway case. The Government is considering the implications of this judgement. Following Budget 2016, the Government announced a wide-ranging package of measures to support rate payers, that will be worth £9 billion over the next five years.
