Discover how you can navigate the complexities of the upcoming 2026 revaluation and its impacts on business rates.

Watch event

About the event

The new 2026 revaluation will take effect on 1 April 2026, taking over from the 2023 rating list used to revalue commercial, non-domestic UK properties. With just months to go, we consider how businesses can ensure they are maximising effective cost saving by reviewing their current and future assessments.

With many businesses facing increased business rates, it’s also an essential time to consider if you are optimising other tax reliefs available on commercial property – particularly capital allowances, which remain one of the most valuable forms of tax relief available to businesses that own, lease, or invest in commercial property.

Agenda

During this recording, we will:

- Walk through case studies to unearth benefits of a business rates and capital allowances review throughout a property lifecycle. Whether you’re an occupier, owner or investor, we provide examples of achievable cashflow and tax savings


- Cover a close review of the five new intended multipliers for the forthcoming revaluation and what this means for ratepayers with rateable values above and below £500,000


- Analyse the impact and how you can prepare for the changes depending on your exposure to rates, and help you understand the transitional relief package


- Share insights into the latest government announcements, and consider if these go far enough for the challenges that lie ahead for taxpayers with increased rates liabilities and operating costs


- Provide an update on the latest capital allowances changes, issues and opportunities with worked examples.


- Discuss how capital allowances can offset the financial impact of higher business rates


- Navigate the interaction between business rates changes and capital allowances planning. With the 2026 list approaching, understanding how your property’s valuation shifts could inform and enhance your tax strategy.
