What a relief

Business Rates are currently one of the highest taxes the
UK commercial industry have to pay.

What if you could rerate your property and make a saving?

It’s a complicated business but not to the experts.

Time is running out

Are You Paying Too Much
in Business Rates?

Most businesses overpay on rates, and never challenge it. You can appeal and potentially reclaim thousands, but only until 31 March 2026. After that, your current valuation is locked in.
With outdated figures and shifting markets,
now is the time to act.

Major reforms from April 2026 will change how rates are calculated. Rerate helps owners and occupiers reduce liabilities and prepare.

How does it affect you?

Every occupier or owner of a commercial property can appeal their current business rates valuation.
This is a unique opportunity to check the accuracy of your current valuation and potentially achieve a reduction before the deadline.

Why act now?

It’s Your Right – Every occupier or owner has the legal right to appeal their valuation – but most never do.
Strict Deadline – After 31 March 2026, this opportunity disappears. You’ll be locked into your current valuation until the next revaluation cycle.
Backdated Appeals – If your appeal is successful, any overpayments could be refunded back to 1 April 2023 or your occupancy / ownership if after that date – a significant financial opportunity.
Valuations May Be Outdated – Your valuation may not reflect changes to your property, occupancy, or the local market since 2023. This is your chance to correct it.
The Process Can Be Simple – With expert support, checking and challenging your valuation is easier than you think – and could make a real difference.

How is my current business rate calculated?

Business rates are a type of property tax based on a property’s rateable value, which reflects its open market rental value at a specific point in time.
The rateable value is set by the government to ensure fairness and accuracy in how business rates are applied.
A revaluation is conducted every few years to update these values and keep them in line with current market conditions.
The next revaluation will take effect from 1st April 2026.
Rateable values vary depending on the type and sector of the property-e.g., retail, office, industrial, or hospitality.

What are
Business Rates?

Business rates are the commercial version of Council Tax. The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) value them and the Local Authority collect the money.

The VOA create what is called a Rateable Value. This is based on the annual market rental values of your premises.

The government also have a role to play – they confirm what reliefs the Local Authority give out to ratepayers and issue the multiplier.

Then the rates payable you pay every year is based on the rateable value times by the multiplier, subtracting all the reliefs you are entitled to.

The multipliers are set to be 54.6p and 49.9p to every pound that you pay on rent every year from 1st April 2024. This is one of the highest property taxes in the world and could affect the profitability of many organisations. This is why our clients need us more than ever.
