Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps he plans to take to address concerns raised by small businesses on the effect of the staircase tax.
The Government is aware of the change in the Valuation Office Agency’s approach to assessing units within buildings in multiple occupation, following the Supreme Court judgement in the Mazars v Woolway case. The Government is considering the implications of this judgement.
