Valuation Office Agency (VOA)

The complainant has sought to obtain from the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) information about the Council Tax band, specific methodology and process of assessing his own property. The complainant also asked for information about comparable properties considered during the band process.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the VOA was entitled to rely on section 44(1)(a) to withhold the requested information.
The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken by VOA in relation to this case.
