There has been a radical overhaul of Rating legislation. Revaluations will move to 3-yearly with a 1-year antecedent tone date.
The current business rates appeal system is proposed to be replaced with a 2-tier detailed proposal and then an appeal process in a very short timeframe. Legislation will also restrict other categories of appeal, including Material Change of Circumstances and Error appeals.
