Guidance: Business rates and duty to notify.

HMRC19/08/2026

The government is introducing a new duty for owners of non-domestic properties to notify the Valuation Office of any changes to their premises. This requirement will affect businesses and landlords, though the implementation date is currently under review. No action or preparatory work is required at this stage, and further guidance will be provided when the service launches.
