Business rates revaluation support
The VOA reassessed all rateable values with effect from 1 April 2017 (the 2017 revaluation) leading to significant changes in the amount of rates payable for some ratepayers.
In addition to the range of existing reliefs that can reduce the amount of business rates to be paid, the government announced three new reliefs in the Spring 2017 budget. The new reliefs are known as pub relief, supporting small business relief, and discretionary revaluation support relief. Read more about business rates reductions.
