Welsh Government closes consultation on Council Tax appeals reform

Article summary

The Welsh Government has concluded its consultation on reforms to the Council Tax appeals framework, which ran from 10 January to 3 April 2025. The proposed changes aim to clarify the roles of the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and Valuation Tribunal for Wales (VTW), provide earlier access to property data, improve communication with taxpayers and remove automatic referral of unresolved proposals to the VTW. The government is now reviewing consultation responses before announcing next steps.
