Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

Local authorities are under a statutory obligation to levy rates on any property used for commercial purposes in accordance with the details entered in the valuation lists prepared by the independent Commissioner of Valuation under the Valuation Act 2001. The Commissioner of Valuation has sole responsibility for all valuation matters, including the method of valuation.

I assume the question refers to t he Net Effective Valuation (or Net Annual Value where a local authority area has undergone a revaluation) which is the cumulative total of all valuations of rateable premises in a local authority area as provided to the rating authority by the Commissioner of Valuation in his statutory role. Local authorities publish the Net Effective Valuation (or Net Annual Value) in their annual budgets. The latest available data for 2013 are set out in the table.

The Annual Financial Statement of each local authority provides an analysis of income from goods and services. Local authority income from parking fines and charges in respect of 2011, the latest year for which audited information is available, is also set out in the table.
