The rateable value of a property may be amended for a number of reasons. For example, the premises may alter in size or the usage may change.
If you feel that your rateable value is incorrect you should contact the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) using a Business Rates Valuation Account.
If you are awaiting a re-assessment of your rateable value it is important that you continue to pay on the original bill until the change is put into effect.
