Dear authorities,
Passing of The Rating (Coronavirus) and Directors Disqualification (Dissolved Companies) Act 2021-VOA now starting to close Challenges and Proposals citing Covid
New laws have come into force that affect how the VOA treats COVID-19 challenge and proposal cases.
The Rating (Coronavirus) and Directors Disqualification (Dissolved Companies) Act 2021 states that measures brought in because of coronavirus will not be considered as a Material Change of Circumstances (MCC).
This means that challenges in England and proposals in Wales based on the effect of these measures will not see a change in rateable value.
From today we will start contacting customers in England through our Check, Challenge, Appeal service to confirm that their rateable values will not be altered and no further action will be taken on these cases.
We will contact customers in Wales in the new year to request that they withdraw their cases.
Kind regards
Local Authority Engagement Team
