LONDON--BT Group PLC (BT.A.LN), the U.K. telecommunications group, Friday said it is challenging higher business tax rates levied by the U.K. government.

In a statement, it said the Valuation Office Agency proposed increasing rateable values to BT of GBP715 million ($926 million) in England and GBP28 million in Wales from April 1 next year, which compares to the current rateable values of GBP158 million and GBP7 million, respectively.

BT said its rate liability would be phased in over five years, with the first year's increase being "tens of millions of pounds" in fiscal 2017.

"BT considers the proposed rateable values to be excessive and will challenge the VOA on its method and assumptions. BT will also be responding to the transitional relief consultation," it said.

Still, BT said its financial outlook for both fiscal 2016 and 2017 is unchanged.

At 0810 GMT, shares fell 1.4% to 386 pence.
