Overview
📢 Business Rates Reform: How are you fixed for 2026?
Reforming Business Rates to drive growth and investment has been a consistent goal for UK governments since 1990. With the upcoming budget, revaluation, multiple multipliers, and ongoing concerns around avoidance, 2026 is poised to deliver major changes for local authorities, businesses, and partners.
The Thames Valley Association is proud to host a dynamic forum that brings together SMEs from both the public and private sectors, alongside key voices from central government. This session offers a unique opportunity to explore the future of Business Rates reform from both national and regional perspectives—ensuring delegates are informed, prepared, and ready to shape what comes next.
