In the context of index numbers, rebasing can refer to either:
- changing the weights in an index, such as an inflation index,
- changing the reference period of an index number series.
The weights and the reference period may be changed at the same time.

In relation to tax, rebasing means re-stating the base value of an asset for tax calculation purposes.
The re-statement would usually be upward, thereby reducing any potentially taxable gain calculated on any surplus over the base value.
