Business Rates

With 20 million business rates related tasks every year, mistakes are commonplace 

All businesses face the challenge of auditing and paying all their rates bills, monitoring Rateable Value changes, dealing with issues arising when premises are opened and closed and ensuring all reliefs and refunds are secured and budget reports are updated.

With councils performing over 20 million business rates related tasks every year mistakes are commonplace.  For most businesses the complexity of rates bills with transitional calculations, BID levies and Business Rate Supplements mean they simply don’t have the expertise to be able to challenge a rate demand.  Consequently, they allow councils to collect direct debit payments with little control over the timing and amounts of these payments
