QUALIFYING FOR RATE RELIEF
HOW do I check whether I am .entitled to rate relief? This was the question posed to the Advertiser and Times by a pensioner, who confessed to being unable to follow the official advertisement telling ratepayers of their right. The first step is to look at
the “factor” 'for the area in which you live. For Bow- land Rural District the fac tor is 1.098, for Clitheroe Rural District 1-224, and for Clitheroe Borough 1.217.
Next, look at the total
rates you were charged by the council last 1'ear and multiply this by the factor.
NO CLAIM
Now look at this year's rates, and if they 'are 50p ’ or more higher you get a
reduction of half the dif ference. For owners of mixed properties — house and shop — the reduction is one quarter.
Note that you must not
include the amount of water charges In your reck oning and that you do not have to make any claim.
