VOA CCA Statistics

The VOA has published statistics for Check Challenge Appeal to August 2018

169,390 properties have been claimed which represents less than 9% of all properties in the Rating List. Interestingly the current claim reference number (the sequential number given to a hereditament by the VOA when it is claimed) is just over 220,000 which means that 50,000 hereditaments have been re claimed following splits, mergers, address changes or where a claim has been declined. It shows the administrative burden to rate payers if just under one in four claims has to be redone.

36,310 Checks have been lodged of which 28,040 have been resolved.

4,460 Challenges have been lodged of which 1,030 have been resolved.

62,640 Interested Parties have been registered (rate payers and their agents).
