question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reason the rateable value of pubs and restaurants is assessed on the basis of turnover whereas that of other businesses is assessed on profit.
tabling member constituency	Barnsley Central
tabling member printed	Dan Jarvis
uin	71481
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2017 answer text <p>The Rateable Value of a property is the annual rent it would achieve if let on the open market at a valuation date set in law. The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) determine Rateable Values by referring to rents agreed on similar properties in the local area. Most non-domestic properties, such as offices, shops and restaurants, are assessed on the basis of their rental value per square metre in line with what happens in the rental market.</p><p> </p><p>Rents paid for public houses are also used to determine the appropriate Rateable Value. The approach of valuing per square metre is not used as the market uses trading potential (turnover) to determine levels of rent. This is a recognised way of valuing pubs and has been agreed between the VOA and a number of trade associations.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 25/04/2017 10:42:22 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
