Backlog of outstanding rating appeals

24th July 2020

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has fallen just 2% short of the target set by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The target set by the Chancellor was to clear 95% of the 168,000 appeals outstanding in September 2013 by July 2015. Although 93% of these appeals have now been dealt with, VOA resources have been focused on the 2017 revaluation. No further target date has been set for addressing the remaining outstanding appeals, which has led to concerns that the backlog will fail to be cleared completely.
