Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy to ensure the Valuation Office Agency's online calculator on gov.uk for the affect of the 2026 revaluation includes the GLA Crossrail supplement on hereditaments in London.

The estimator tool has been taken down as standard practice ahead of billing authorities issuing bills, to reduce confusion for customers. Businesses can still check their rateable value via the Valuation Office Agency’s online service and should contact their local council with any questions about their bill.

On 27 January, it was announced that every pub and live music venue will get 15% off its new business rates bill on top of the support announced at Budget and then bills will be frozen in real terms for a further two years.

For those businesses benefiting from the new announcement, there is a specific calculator available to help them understand the impact on bills next year.
