Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the Valuation Office Agency plans to publish the draft council tax bandings for dwellings in Wales as part of the council tax revaluation in Wales.

The Local Government Finance (Wales) Act 2024 states that the Welsh Ministers can specify, in an order, the date by which listing officers must send a copy of the proposed valuation list to their billing authorities. If the Welsh Ministers do not make such an order, the deadline will be the 1 September before the date on which the list is to be compiled.

Therefore, for a compiled list date of 1 April 2028, the proposed valuation list would be made available on or before 1 September 2027.
