Business rate reduction

Business overheads have a direct impact on the bottom line of your business and those overheads include business rates. If you are overpaying, you have an unnecessary drain on your company’s revenue.

Salway Bradbury has a track record of successfully challenging clients’ business rate demands across the UK. In one instance, our expertise has led to a saving of £1 million of rates payable over a five year period.

Our service includes:

• Challenging the valuation basis supplied by valuation officers and verifying the appropriate floor areas
• Identifying material changes or disabilities in relation to the property which may affect the basis of valuation
• Advising on lodging an appeal to a Valuation Tribunal where the proposed rateable value is considered to be unrealistic
