Business Rates: Make sure you are paying the right amount

This October, all businesses will receive their new business rates valuation, together with a breakdown of how it has been calculated.

Look out for your valuation in the post and check the details thoroughly - if there are any factual errors you might even end up saving money.

The new valuations will form the basis of business rates bills for the next five years, so it's important to inform the Valuation Office Agency of any inaccuracies before 30 November 2009.
