The non-domestic rating list and official statistics have been published for the 2023 revaluation.

The rating list sets out all rateable values for non-domestic properties in England and Wales. It is used by local authorities to help determine business rates.


The updated official statistics for Revaluation 2023 show the changes in rateable values of all non-domestic properties since the last revaluation in 2017.

The publication of the 2023 non-domestic rating list means that the 2017 list has now closed. There are only limited circumstances in which changes may be made to your previous rateable value.

Businesses are now able to check the factual information used for your valuation in the 2023 list, and tell the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) if anything is wrong.

You can also challenge your new rateable value if you think it is too high.

Footfall woes follow retail into the new year – Bira

The British Independent Retailers Association (Bira) has warned that disappointing footfall figures for December show mounting pressures on independent retailers, with concerning implications for 2025 as business costs continue to rise.

The latest BRC-Sensormatic IQ Footfall Monitor report revealed decreases across most retail locations:

  • Total UK retail footfall decreased by 2.2% (YoY)
  • High Street footfall decreased by 2.7% (YoY)
  • Shopping Centre footfall decreased by 3.3% (YoY)
  • Retail Park footfall remained flat at 0.0% (YoY)

"These figures paint a worrying picture of the challenges facing independent retailers," said Andrew Goodacre, CEO of Bira, which works with over 6,000 independent retailers of all sizes across the UK. "The decline in footfall during the crucial Christmas trading period is particularly concerning, as this is typically when retailers need to generate the revenue that will see them through the quieter months ahead."
