Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment has been made by the Valuation Office Agency of the footprint for snooker clubs and venues to accommodate snooker tables in calculating the 2026 business rates revaluation.

Snooker halls are valued in the same way as any other class of non-domestic property, through applying the statutory and common law principles that apply across non-domestic rating.

The practice note used for the 2023 revaluation is published online here. The same approach has been applied in 2026.
