All non-domestic properties have a rateable value. You can appeal against the rate at which your premises have been valued. This is known as making a proposal. Proposal forms are available from:
The Valuation Office Agency
4th Floor Citypoint
Temple Gate
Bristol
BS1 6PD
Otherwise you can appeal on-line by visiting the Valuation Office Agency website.
If you decide to go ahead and make an appeal a valuation officer will be assigned to your case. If the valuation officer agrees with the proposal or all parties reach agreement on another value, the rateable value will be changed.
If they cannot agree, the appeal is passed to an independent valuation tribunal. For more information about the appeals process, visit the Valuation Office Agency website.
During the appeals process, you must continue to pay your business rates bill.
