Duty to report to the Valuation Office, part of HMRC
Ratepayers will be required to register on the Government Gateway and notify The Valuation Office of any changes (within 60 days of the change)....The new duty requires businesses to tell The Valuation Office about changes such as:
Changes to the use of the property
Changes to the size of the property
Changes to the condition of the property
Changes to the value of the property
This will help ensure that businesses pay the correct amount in Business Rates....We’ll provide more information about how this will work and the timescales for implementation.
