Appeal your rateable value
The council uses the rateable value provided by the HMRC Valuation Office Agency (VOA) to work out your business rates bill. You can check your rateable value and compare it with others on the VOA website, or contact them if you need to report an issue.
Rating advisers
You do not have to use a rating adviser when discussing your rateable value or your business rates bill. You can make an appeal for free.
If you do use a rating adviser, check that they have appropriate indemnity insurance. Seek further advice before signing any contract.
