Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many certificates the Valuation Office Agency has issued under the Non-Domestic Rating (Telecommunications Infrastructure Relief) (England) Regulations 2018; and what the value is of those certificates.

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has issued 71 certificates. The Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 restricts VOA from providing specific information, in order to protect ratepayer confidentiality. Disclosing the total value of the certificates could allow specific companies to be identified, since only a small number of companies are included.
