Written Answers
Council Tax: Surcharges
Asked by: David Simmonds (Conservative - Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner)
Thursday 17th September 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the answer of 9 June 2026, to Question 5344, on Council Tax: Surcharges, whether the powers of officers appointed by the Commissioners of His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs to undertake valuations for the new council tax surcharge will use the Local Government Finance Act 1992 as their statutory basis, or whether the Government intends to legislate to provide additional powers.

Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General

The High Value Council Tax Surcharge will be legislated for in Finance Bill 2026 and subject to Parliamentary approval in the normal way.

Council Tax: Valuation
Asked by: Katie Lam (Conservative - Weald of Kent)
Thursday 17th September 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will set out the property attribute information HMRC Valuation Office seeks to collect during a site visit when undertaking a valuation of a dwelling for council tax.

Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General

The Valuation Office (VO) carries out property inspections to establish and record facts relating to property on a case by case basis. The same categories of property attribute information are collected for Council Tax purposes in England and Wales. Further information about the property attribute information held for Council Tax purposes is available in the published guidance: Property attribute data (PAD). Additional information may be sought from the taxpayer in line with section 27 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.

Business Rates: Tax Allowances
Asked by: James Cleverly (Conservative - Braintree)
Wednesday 9th September 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the answer of 29 May 2026, to Question 1182, on Business Rates: Canary Wharf, what is his Department's policy on the provision of business rate relief to individual firms.

Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General

Local authorities are responsible for the administration of the business rates system including decisions on the award of business rates reliefs in line with relief eligibility.

Local authorities also have discretionary powers to grant business rates relief to ratepayers in their area under Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, having regard to the interests of their council taxpayers.

Second Homes: Council Tax
Asked by: Kevin Hollinrake (Conservative - Thirsk and Malton)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the second homes council tax premium on properties subject to legally binding occupancy restrictions, such as (a) sheltered and (b) supported housing developments delivered with (i) Homes England and (ii) registered provider involvement, where those restrictions prevent the property being (A) occupied and (B) let by the owner’s family; and whether she plans to review statutory exceptions under sections 11B and 11C of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.

Answered by Jim McMahon - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

It is for councils to decide whether to charge the premium in their area, taking account of local circumstances. The Department has introduced a number of exceptions, including dwellings that cannot be occupied as a person’s sole or main residence because of planning restrictions. It is for individual councils to assess whether it is appropriate to apply any further exceptions or discounts for second homes. Councils will make these decisions based on local circumstances.

The government remains committed to ensuring the council tax system is fair for taxpayers and local authorities and will continue to keep taxes and all elements of the local government finance system under review.

Taxation: Advisory Services
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the cumulative impact on small and medium-sized accountancy and tax advisory practices of (a) the mandatory Tax Adviser Registration scheme, (b) the lowered threshold from "dishonest conduct" to "sanctionable conduct" for agent penalties introduced by the Finance Act 2026, and (c) the proposed new criminal offence for reckless untrue statements or declarations in direct tax; and whether HMRC has evaluated whether the existing civil and criminal penalty framework is sufficient before introducing further enforcement powers.

Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General

The Government recognises the important role played by small and medium-sized accountancy and tax advisory practices in supporting taxpayers to meet their obligations.

The Government has consulted on these measures and published assessments of their expected impact. This includes consultations and tax information and impact notes covering mandatory tax adviser registration and the measures to tackle tax adviser-facilitated non-compliance.

HMRC is considering responses to the recent consultation on a proposed criminal offence for reckless untrue statements or declarations in direct tax. Final decisions are subject to the analysis of consultation responses, and the Government will publish its response in due course.

In developing the measures, the Government considered the existing civil and criminal framework and the case for further powers. HMRC will continue to engage with the sector and keep the operation and impact of the measures under review.

Council Tax: Valuation
Asked by: James Cleverly (Conservative - Braintree)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Welsh Government has informed the HMRC Valuation Office of its planning council tax bands and thresholds for the council tax revaluation in Wales.

Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General

HMRC Valuation Office will apply the bands and thresholds which the Welsh Government will in due course enact through regulations under the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
