Guidance: Business rates and duty to notify.

HMRC29/10/2026

The government is introducing a new duty for owners of business or non-domestic properties to notify the Valuation Office of any changes to their property. This requirement will affect all business property owners, but there is currently no action to take and no preparatory work required. HMRC will provide further updates on when these changes will be introduced and what specific information must be reported.
