Hammer Properties – Business Rates Information

Since the creation of the business rates system back in 1990 questions have been asked as to how these figures are determined and why valuations are based around rental figures when they are an arbitrary value and set based on an individuals ideas of a properties location, size and description. The best example of this is as a landlord who will pay a surveyor to produce a surveyors report highlighting the positives of a property and producing a rental figure near the higher end of the rental spectrum, as opposed to a tenant who will highlight the negatives and try to negotiate nearer the bottom end. The UBR system is not unlike this example, with the Valuation Officer for a district determining a hypothetical rental figure (a Rateable Value) for an area and the occupier is then entitled to challenge that figure. During this current recession period the flaws of the UBR system have become more and more apparent, the introduction of small business relief back in 2005 highlighted the unfair system that was finally being recognised by the labour government and was there to assist the small business man, since 2010 that relief has been doubled because it still didn’t alleviate the pressure and as of April 2014 an extra £1000 is also being offered by the government as again another piece of legislation that is meant to reduce the outgoing but again highlights the imperfections with this archaic and inconsistent arrangement.

It is naive not to be aware of the up and coming election and like most governments different parts of the residential and commercial parts of the country are being given help and assistance to attract voters. It must be asked why now and if the actual help is the full extent of the assistance that could be offered.

GREAT WIN FOR HAMMER PROPERTIES AT VALUATION TRIBUNAL

Reduction Agreed:

Office accommodation in Curzon Street, Westminster.

Our case workers Mr. H Berlin & Mr. J Berlin together argued against the Valuation Office to reduce the business rates at 7 Curzon Street. In negotiations the Valuation Office would not agree to reduce, and even persuaded other firms to withdrawn their appeals. We believed in the case so much that we took the matter to Tribunal (court).

The independent panel were supplied with our expert report and also the Valuation Officers report. At Tribunal oral arguments were heard from both sides and following this there were cross examinations.  The parties then rested and the Tribunal informed us they will write to both parties within 21 days with there ruling.

Hammer Properties have just been informed that the Tribunal ruled in our favour and determined there should be a reduction as per our arguments.  As a result the rateable value has been reduced from £107,000 – £100,000 with effect from 1st April 2010. In real terms this means the following saving will apply excluding any transitional relief (*)  given by the local authority.

Year/Rate	£107,000	£100,000	Saving
2010-11 41.4%	£44,298.00	£41,400.00	£2,898.00

Hammer Properties – What Are Business Rates?

Every non domestic property in England & Wales is set a rateable value by the Valuation Office. The rates you pay are directly linked to your rateable value and is calculated using the current financial years multiplier.

What are the multipliers? Please use the following link to find out more: https://hammerproperties.wordpress.com/2013/12/09/hammer-properties-what-are-the-multipliers/

The rateable value of your property represents the figure the the Valuation Office would expect the property to let for on the open market at the given date.

Hammer Properties – Why Appeal?

The current rating assessment runs from 1st April 2010 until 31st March 2017. You have the right to appeal during this time period. The Valuation Office has over assessed a vast number of properties and appealing your assessment could result in a huge financial savings and a rebate from your local authority backdated to 1st April 2010.

There are a number of other factors you may appeal. These factors are based on physical changes in your location having an adverse affect on rental values and trade. They can range from severe roadworks, building and demolition works to opening of new shopping centres.

Hammer Properties have agreed many temporary and permanent reductions with the Valuation Office reducing a vast number of assessments resulting in huge savings for clients.

Hammer Properties – Budget Update

Good News For Small Businesses

Proposed Changes To Business Rate Initiatives

For the first time ever the Government has intervened to cap the increase in business rates at 2%. Small business rate relief which has been in effect since October 2010 is to be extended until March 2015 which will help businesses with a rateable value below £18,000 (£25,500 in city of London).

How to apply for the relief?

• If your RV is between £12,000 & £18,000 (£12,000 & £25,500 in city of London) – The discount will automatically be applied on the rates bill. A lower multiplier known as the Uniform Business Rate (UBR) will bee applied so no action is required.
• If your RV is below £12,000 – Not only will you be entitled to the UBR but you will be able to claim for Small Business Rates Relief. The rate of relief will gradually decrease from 100% to 0% for properties with a rateable value between £6,001 and £12,000. In order to apply contact your local authority as a form will need to be completed.
  
• If your RV is below £6000 – You will not have to pay any business rates so no action is required. (You are only entitled to this if you are in occupation of only one premises)

It has also been announced that from April 2014 ratepayers will be able to pay in 12 monthly instalments rather then 10 monthly instalments, which in affect reduce the monthly payments.

Additional reductions on premises with a rateable value less than £50,000

If your property has a rateable value of less than £50,000 you could benefit from an additional £1,000 discount. Below shows the proposed savings based on differing rateable values. The examples show the effects of changes for qualifying ‘retail’ properties below £50,000 reflecting a 2% cap and £1,000 rates discount.

RV	2013/2014	2014/2015	REDUCTION	PERCENTAGE
£15,000	£6,930	£6,065	£865	12.5%
£30,000	£14,130	£13,460	£670	4.7%
£45,000	£21,195	£20,690	£505	2.4%

Empty Units – 50% discount to support the rejuvenation of empty units

For those businesses looking to open up or expand, if a shop unit has been empty/vacant for at least 12 months, a further scheme has been introduced to try and rejuvenate the High Street by offering businesses a 50% discount on the rates payable for the first 18 months if you take on one of these premises.

Hammer Properties – Services

Hammer Properties main objective is to act as a middle man between client and the governing bodies in the UK to make sure that all business rate appeals gain the optimum result possible. We will represent you in all business rate related matters during the entire rating block.

Hammer Properties endeavour to appeal against the current rating system and the subsequent assessments in the current Rating List. This will initially start with the informal discussion between our surveyors and the Valuation Office Agency (Inland Revenue & Customs) in trying to settle a reduction in the rateable value within the shortest time possible.

Three months after the submission of an appeal, it can be listed for hearing at a local Valuation Tribunal. At this point we undertake the challenge of fighting the Inland Revenue to ensure that every business in the UK is paying not only a correct but a fair rate on an annual basis. Following the settlement of an appeal, we pursue a claim from the local authority of the physical overpayments in the form of a refund. It should be noted that this is accompanied by interest in accordance with prescribed rules and regulations and can be backdated to the commencement of the current block or the date of occupation if after.
