BUSINESS RATES CHALLENGES/APPEALS

Published on Tuesday, 25 June 2024

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is aware of false claims that the deadline for appeals to the 2023 rating lists (the current Rating List) is 30 June.

This is not true. You should be wary of anyone making this claim.

You are generally able to challenge your property valuation on the 2023 list at any time until March 2026.

You should be cautious of any agent who:

• tries to pressure you to make a decision or sign a contract
• makes claims about ‘unclaimed credits’ or similar
• says they are acting on behalf of the VOA
• demands large sums of money up front

At Clark Weightman we do not play this game and advise Clients early on whether we believe a Challenge/Appeal is likely to be successful. Please call us for initial advise.
