Business Rates: Tax Yields

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 29 June 2026 to Question 11414, on Business Rates: Tax Yields, if she will publish the full submission and data tables provided by the Department to the OBR used for the March 2026 OBR update.

Answer

As set out in the answer to Question 11414 published on 29 June 2026, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) sets out the process for the forecast and information it requests from my department. Decisions on the publication of data used in or supporting its forecasts are therefore a matter for the OBR.

For information on the business rates forecast up to 2028-29 for England only, I refer the Rt Hon. Member to the answer to question UIN HL323 on 4 June 2026.

For information on the business rates forecast for both 2029-30 and 2030-31 for England only, I refer the Rt Hon. Member to the answer to question UIN 11414 on 29 June 2026.
