Colliers guide tackles business rates concerns
A rating expert from real estate firm Colliers International has put together a guide for companies concerned by changes to the business rates appeal process. From 1 April 2017, all
commercial properties were revalued based on estimated rating values taken from 2015. The values are calculated by
the Valuation Office Agency, a division of HMRC, and are passed through to the local billing authority for the property, who issue the bills. However, there has been criticism over the latest ‘Check, Challenge, Appeal’ process, with some local firms describing the new system as ‘not user friendly’ and difficult to access. Additionally, the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce quarterly business report for the second quarter revealed concern among businesses over the proposed changes.
