BUSINESS RATES BILL AUDIT

Simply being a client of Ruddle Merz entitles you to a complete business rates audit. By providing copies of all your rates bills, going back as far as 1995, we will ensure that you have not been incorrectly or over-charged. You may be surprised to learn that we often find discrepancies and in one case brought about a complete software change for one council after we identified errors in certain calculations they were making.

Transitional Relief (more appropriately considered as Transitional Phasing) is a complex formula used for the calculation of rates liability which may apply to properties that have large increases or decreases in rateable value.

To ensure the Ruddle Merz Bill Audit team are always up to date on legislative changes, and to guarantee that clients are always getting the highest level of expertise, our Bill Audit Manager Claire Shuttleworth works closely with a former Government expert on Transitional Relief.
