Queries
If you have a query on your Business Rates- Contact the Rates Team on 0845 3000 341
All questions about the rateable value of your property should go to the assessor (tel: 01835 - 825100).
If you think you have been incorrectly charged, and it has nothing to do with the valuation of you property, then appeal in writing to the Head of Revenues and Benefits, within 28 days of receiving your bill.
