We are seeking views on draft regulations to support the business rates appeals reforms.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk

Detail

The government published a consultation paper on proposals for a reformed business rates appeals system in October 2015. This paper sought views on proposals for a new 3-stage approach to business rates appeals: ‘check, challenge, appeal’.

Enabling primary legislation has been brought forward via the Enterprise Act 2016 and we are now consulting on the draft regulations.
