Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what external contractors is the Valuation Office Agency using to support its valuation work on (a) a council tax revaluation in Wales and (b) the council tax surcharge in England.
The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is not using external contractors to perform its valuation work on the 2028 Council Tax revaluation in Wales.
The approach to the High Value Council Tax Surcharge is being developed and more details will be set out in due course, alongside the Government's consultation.
