Let FSS Check and Challenge Your Business Rates Revaluation

In 2017 businesses faced the biggest Rateable Value changes for decades and, more than ever before, the responsibility for checking and challenging the new rates lies with the ratepayer.

Draft revaluations were published in autumn 2016 with appeal being lodged from April 2017. The last revaluation was based on 2008 property values and Yorkshire’s property market has changed significantly since then. The new rates reflect those changes with big shifts in business rates.

  • The economy has changed drastically since 2008.
  • There is greater responsibility on ratepayers to check the accuracy of information used to value their property.
