Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 15 January 2025 to Question 22322 on Housing: Pylons, whether her Department is taking steps to help increase awareness of the right to submit a proposal to alter the Council Tax list.

Guidance on the right to submit a proposal (formal challenge) against a Council Tax band and changes that may affect a property’s band is published at the following links:

• Challenge your Council Tax band: Overview - GOV.UK.
• How Council Tax works: Working out your Council Tax - GOV.UK.

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) proactively raises awareness of the guidance, and in addition has created and promotes other bespoke content clearly explaining how customers can challenge their Council Tax band. This is shared on social media, gov.uk and with partner organisations, e.g. local authorities, on a regular on-going basis.
