Head of Economic Analysis: Tax Reform – Role Overview
This is a unique opportunity to lead the economic analysis underpinning one of the most significant property tax reforms in decades. As Head of Economic Analysis at the Valuation Office Agency, you will play a pivotal role in shaping ministerial advice on reforming the business rates system. Working closely with key policy partners across HM Treasury, MHCLG, and HMRC, you’ll deliver high-quality analysis that directly influences strategic policy decisions. This role offers the chance to work at the intersection of economics and public policy, presenting your insights to senior stakeholders and governance boards while driving evidence-based reforms that will impact businesses and communities across England and Wales. If you’re looking to lead meaningful change and make a lasting impact, this is the role for you.
We are seeking a Head of Analysis to lead the economic assessment underpinning ministerial ambitions to reform the property tax system. This role involves conducting high-quality economic analysis, both quantitative and qualitative, to support the Valuation Office Agency’s (VOA) contributions to ministerial advice on business rates reform. You will collaborate closely with policy partners across HM Treasury, MHCLG, and HMRC to shape strategic policy direction, assess delivery options, evaluate costs and risks, and influence key stakeholders. Your work will be instrumental in driving evidence-based decisions that will shape one of the most significant tax reforms in decades.
You will collaborate with VOA delivery and analytical teams to build a robust evidence base for the proposed reforms. Working closely with VOA and cross-Whitehall (XWH) policy partners, you will help define the policy intent behind the reforms and scope economic analyses to test whether they meet policy objectives. Additionally, you will contribute to evaluating the feasibility of future reforms, assessing their impact on the VOA and its ongoing transformation agenda.
This role involves regular engagement with stakeholders across the VOA, including presenting at senior governance boards. You will also represent the VOA at senior cross-Whitehall governance boards, where key elements of the government’s property tax reform agenda will be approved.
