Chamber Networking Lunch
Business Rates - do you know what's round the corner for your business?
The VOA announced in July 2009 that the Government will not be collecting any extra revenue as a result of the 2010 revaluation, that 60% of businesses will see a fall in next years bill and that regular revaluations for business rates help to maintain fairness in the system.
Have your rates gone up or down? and do you believe it's a fair system when the economy is in such a fragile state?
Business rates affect every business owner. While the revaluation is based on property prices in April 2008 when the market was in a stronger position, the introduction of changes to business rates could not come at a worse time for many businesses.
Come long to this lunch and hear from Steve Hanson from the VOA and Martin Hillary, Consultant Surveyor at Brown & Lee.
