Business Rates Revaluation 1 April 2023
Business Rates are a tax on occupation of land and property
The legal definition of Rateable Value is the Open Market Rental of your premises as at 1 April 2021
If you consider your Rateable Value is too high, or if you think it’s not been unfairly assessed, you have the right to appeal under the ‘Check, Challenge, Appeal’ system.
John McCutchan of Arlington Bluebell Walk & Farm Trails, East Sussex appointed Barry Davies of Davies & Co, a Chartered Rating Surveyor for advice when he considered his Rateable Value was too high.
“I approached Barry Davies for help and assistance, when we suddenly received a Council rates bill on our business, backdated 3 years! I found him extremely knowledgeable and supportive, reinforced by his request for the appropriate documents and information, which he used in the successful negotiations with the VOA, to significantly reduce our Rateable Value.
Our Rateable Value came down from £16,750 to £5,000 a 70% reduction, back to 1 April 2017. His service was speedy and very effective; therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending him to other attractions or leisure businesses wanting a reduction in their Rateable Value”
