The business rates review in 2017 is expected to bring the largest change to business rates for high street retailers in a generation, with retailers being informed of their new bill later this year. In the run up to the national revaluation of business rates, ActSmart have teamed up with RatesRecovery to help every business monitor their bill.

RatesCheck is a free tool designed to help you pay lower business rates by ensuring you stay informed about changes to your business rates liability and how you can ensure you do not overpay.

Using RatesCheck is simple. Simply upload your rates bill to the RatesCheck website and you will benefit from:

  • Free automatic notification of your new rateable value when it is announced on 30th September.

  • Free email updates regarding government changes that will affect your rates bills.
  • Free updates on changes to your right to appeal your rates bill.

By using RatesCheck you are not agreeing to anything or signing any contracts. This is a service to help you make informed decisions about reducing your business rates.
