Transitional Relief Or Surcharge

Transitional arrangements phase in the effect of significant changes in liability that arise from the 2005 revaluation of non-domestic property. Where appropriate, these arrangements will operate until 31st March 2009. There will be no transitional arrangements in 2009/10.  All non-domestic properties will be revalued again from April 2010.
 
There are limits on the percentage by which bills may increase or decrease each year. Special rules deal with changes in rateable values and the merger or splitting of existing properties.
 
If you are entitled to transitional relief (which will reduce the amount you have to pay) or are subject to transitional surcharge (which will increase the amount you have to pay) it will be worked out automatically and shown on your bill.
 
If you want further information please contact Revenues Services on telephone (01423) 556677 or by email.
