Temporary Business Rate Relief

Written on Monday 22nd August 2011

The current works being undertaken in the Market Place are causing a considerable amount of disruption and in view of the length of time that these works will be in force, the Valuation Office have already agreed to provide temporary rate relief to those businesses that they deem to be most affected. The level of this relief has been set at 15% and at present only certain businesses qualify.

The Valuation Office has, however, agreed to hold a consultation meeting to give businesses the opportunity to show how they are being affected and to see if there is any scope for widening the area covered by the temporary business rate relief.

The meeting is being held in the Assembly Rooms on Tuesday 30th August commencing at 6:00pm and is open to any business that wishes to attend.
