The Valuation Tribunal Service a statutory, non-departmental public body (NDPB), sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). We are responsible for the administration of Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating appeals. Monies from Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating are significant income streams for the government – so our independent decisions on appeals impact upon that income and therefore how we interact with appellants and other parties to an appeal is critical to the provision of our services.
