How do I appeal my Rateable Value?
You can see the rateable value of your property through the HMRC Valuation Office Find a Business Rates Valuation Service on GOV.UK.
You think your 2026 rateable value is too high
You will need to use a business rates valuation account to tell the Valuation Office you think your rateable value is too high. You must continue to pay your business rates as normal until a decision has been made.
Sign in or register for a business rates valuation account.
How can I find out more?
More information can be found on the GOV.UK business rates pages.
Do I have to pay my Business Rates if I have made an appeal?
Yes - you are not entitled to withhold payment pending the outcome of an appeal and must pay charges due calculated in accordance with the rateable value shown in the rating list. We can take legal action to recover any unpaid business rates if necessary.
What happens if my appeal is successful?
Changes to rateable values following successful appeals will normally be backdated to the beginning of the financial year in which the appeal is made, although there are some exceptions to this rule. Further information about these arrangements is on the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities website.
