We plan to communicate through these groups, so that these smaller businesses are told about any implications. We will shortly publish a partnership pack that these representative bodies can use in their own communications.</p><p>To support the customs intermediaries sector to expand ahead of March 2019 HM Treasury and HMRC have also designed a package of measures which includes a one-off investment of £8 million to support broker training and increased automation.</p><p>HMRC’s communications plans have a phased approach and later in the year they will provide more information on what people can do should they wish to make preparations.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 16/10/2018 16:51:55 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government introduced the new business rate appeal system Check, Challenge, Appeal (CCA) in April 2017. Under the old system, many appeals were submitted with little or no evidence, causing delay, and the lack of evidence meant the VOA couldn’t separate genuine appeals from speculative ones.</p><p>Under CCA, ratepayers can check the facts held about their property and view their valuation before deciding whether to challenge it. If they go on to challenge they must provide the full evidence for their challenge, giving the VOA the opportunity to address and resolve the issues. This minimises uncertainty, ensuring businesses reach a resolution quicker, without the automatic need for an appeal to the independent Valuation Tribunal.</p><p>Official VOA statistics released on 16 August 2018 show that as of 30 June 2018, most checks are being resolved within three months and most challenges within six months.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 16/10/2018 16:52:20 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
