Minimising and managing Business Rates liabilities through appeals against Rateable Values, applications for reliefs, management and processing of payments and short and long term strategic advice.
How we can help you:
Our team of experienced Rating experts can identify a wide variety of opportunities to reduce and often avoid rates liabilities, before entering into detailed negotiation with the Valuation Office Agency, the Scottish Assessor and/or Local Billing Authorities.
Our Expertise:
We can help you to navigate through the complex Business Rates maze in order to reduce and control operational costs. Our service includes:
- Challenges against rateable values
- Managing applications for relief from rates
- Budgeting and rates bill audits
- Managing and making payments from client accounts
As well as a wealth of experience in negotiating rateable values and pursuing appeals to Tribunals, we are highly experienced in negotiating relief from rates for ‘material change’ appeals, such as nearby building works, as well as securing relief from rates for vacant or under utilised space.
Often working on a purely performance related fee arrangement, there is nothing to lose.
Our rates payment management team is also able to provide an additional level of service from verification of annual rates bills through to actual payment of the monthly instalments.
The two parts of the service integrate seamlessly to ensure that no stone remains unturned and any refunds are promptly secured along with interest where appropriate.
