Business Rates
All occupiers of commercial property have the right to appeal against
the Rating assessment set on 1st April 2005 and also where circumstances
relating to their building has changed. In addition new rules recently announced
in the 2007 Budget means that owners of vacant commercial property will also be
charged full rates after a qualifying period.
Dreweatt Neate can examine your liability to make sure you are being charged
correctly and advise on how and when to appeal to achieve the best results.
Business Rates can amount to 30% of the occupation costs of a commercial
building and as such must not be under estimated.
