Petition Cancel 2026 hospitality business rates revaluation & review policies
Cancel the April 2026 business rates revaluation for hospitality in England and Wales. Launch a review of current policies, which includes retaining 40% rate relief, commissioning an independent investigation into VOA 2026 RV calculations, and scrapping the Fair Maintainable Trade rates system.
More details
We believe the April 2026 revaluation is flawed and unjustifiable. If implemented, we are concerned it could cause business closures, mass job losses and major economic damage. We feel transitional relief is inadequate, temporary, and masks long-term increases, and that Ministers promised lower rates and reform but delivered neither. For many, pubs and hospitality venues are vital community assets, supporting jobs, local economies and social wellbeing. We believe urgent action is needed to protect them and deliver genuine reform from 2027–2028.
