Valuation Office Agency

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is a government body in the UK responsible for assessing property values for tax purposes, such as council tax and business rates. It determines the estimated value of properties, which affects how much tax owners pay. The VOA also provides valuations for compensation claims related to land and property. By ensuring accurate assessments, the agency helps ensure that tax contributions are fair and based on the current market conditions. Its work supports local authorities and the government in managing public finances effectively.
