VALUEBILL



Council Tax/Business Rate Valuation


Aim: Valuebill enables cheaper, faster, more accurate synchronisation of property information for the purposes of Revenue collection, through the establishment of electronic data sharing protocols across local and national databases.

Project outcomes: The project establishs the electronic exchange of information between local authority billing agencies, the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), and the National Land and Property Gazetteer - improving valuation services for citizens and businesses. It is also assisting the integration of billing authorities and VOA into the wider land-related initiatives in local and central government.

The project has established the data flow requirements and data standards involved in linking billing authorities to LLPGs to NLPG to VOA. A starter kit has been created to disseminate these standards and protocols and to help improve property data flows internally within local authorities.

Valuebill software products and best practice guidance do not require a licence. They include schemata which enable property data transfer between databases including revenues, LLPGs, NLPG and VOA.

Project partners: This project is led by the London Borough of Newham with assistance from the Valuation Office Agency, Improvement and Development Agency and the pilot authorities: Corporation of London, Derwentside DC, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Huntingdonshire DC, South Gloucestershire Council, Staffordshire Moorlands DC, Tandridge DC and Tynedale DC.

Project status: Rollout phase.
