RATING VALUATIONS
19 March 2010
All non-domestic (business) properties are assessed every five years and given new rateable values. The next revaluation is due to come into effect on 1st April 2010 and all business properties will have their rateable values reassessed based on a valuation date of 1st April 2008.
Agricultural businesses are exempt from rates, but when undertaking a non-agricultural business on a farm, the premises used become rateable properties for the levy of business rates.
Sporting rights are exempt from rates but salmon fishing rights are rateable with the rates collected by the regional District Salmon Fishery Board.
