Potential rates refund? Act before it’s too late!

Challenge your current business rates before 31^st March 2023

Time is running out to challenge your current business rates – so action is needed now! The last date to submit an appeal to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is 31^st March 2023, but don’t leave it to the last minute. At a time when businesses are seeing increased costs across the board, we are here to help.

Thousands of properties across the country have yet to challenge their business rates across England and Wales, meaning businesses could potentially be missing out on £X,000s in potential rebates – in some cases backdated over 6 years.

We recommend you seek advice from our rating specialists, if the following applies to your business: 

• Have you carried out any building work on your premises since 2017?
• Do you use all your floor plate? (i.e. is any part temporarily out of use?)
• Agreed a new lease, rent review or re-lease in or around 2010, 2015 or 2021?
• Think your rate bill is excessive

Some examples of savings that could be made:
