The consultation document has been placed on the Group Drive under ‘Council Tax Reval’.
The main questions expected, together with assistance in answering them are as follows:
Q.What band will my home be for the Reval?
A. We in the VOA are responsible for setting the bands. The Valuation Date for the Revaluation is 1 April
2003; and the new bands take effect from 1 April 2005. We have not yet commenced any bandings.
The banding exercise will take place between April 2003 and September 2004. You will be able to see
the band ascribed to your property when we publish Draft Lists on or about 1 September 2004.
Q. What if you have banded my dwelling earlier than 1 September 2004?
A. No bandings will be made known prior to 1 September 2004 as between April 2003 and September 2004
we will be collating evidence and refining bandings and will be making them public for the first time on
1 September 2004.
Finally the advice given to any queries received from Council Taxpayers regarding the issue of the above
consultation document should be, the new Bands and Values are only proposed at this stage.
