Rate Payers: Act Now you could lose up to 5 years of Business Rates refunds on appeal.

The Government despite extending the revaluation of Business Rates from April 2015 to April 2017 have not extended the period where businesses are entitled to appeal.

With the deadline of 31st March 2015 fast approaching most businesses will not be aware of these changes which have not been publicised by the Government. The net effect being any appeal made between 1st April 2015 and 31st March 2017 will not be back dated to the start of the current Rating List in 2010.
