The deadline to review and appeal the business rates you have been paying between 2017 and 2023 is fast approaching. Any formal appeals via the VOA must be lodged by 31st March 2023, after which it will be too late.
After 31st March 2023, you will only be able to obtain any potential discounts/rebates for Business Rates valuations from April 2023 onwards.
The process of registering on the VOA website and lodging a review/appeal is not straightforward and we strongly recommend seeking professional support, but if you do wish to do this yourself, we have produced a simple step-by-step guide here
Bira has partnered up with Appeal Business Rates to provide members with a no-win-no-fee Business Rates Audit, which if successful, has a discounted fee of 27% (usually 30%) of any successful discount/refund.
If the team feels there is potential for a further appeal via the VOA, they will inform you about this and provide you with a no-obligation quote for acting on your behalf.
