The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has updated the rateable values of all commercial, and other non-domestic, properties in Wales and England.

Anyone who pays business rates, and thinks their current valuation is wrong, is being encouraged to sign up for a business rates valuation account.

If you do not have an account already, or have not used yours for some time, it can take 15 working days to register and claim your property.

You have until 31 March to request changes to your current valuation by:

  • checking the details the VOA holds about your property
  • telling the VOA if anything is wrong.

From 1 April 2026, a new rating list and new valuations take effect and you will only be able to request changes to your new valuation.
