Why are my Business Rates higher than the property next door?
Some properties which seem the same can have slight variations in their size, quality and layout. The rateable value on your property and your neighbour's property should take account of these differences.
If you want more information about your rateable value, please use this link to look at the
Valuation Office Agency website. Alternatively, you can contact them direct at:

If the rateable value of your and your neighbour's properties are the same, the transitional adjustment may be different which will affect the amount payable.
