Appeal against your rateable value

The council uses the rateable value provided by the Valuation Office Agency to work out your business rates bill. You can check your rateable value and compare it with others on the VOA website. You can also get in touch if you need to let them know of any issues.

Correct your business rates

Information about rating advisors

Ratepayers do not have to be represented in discussions about their rateable value or their rates bill. Appeals against rateable values can be made free of charge. 

If you use a rating adviser, you should check that they have the appropriate indemnity insurance. Take great care and, if necessary, seek further advice before entering into any contract.
