Business Rates can account for a large proportion of expenditure and many businesses wrongly assume they can't do anything to reduce them.
Business rates are a tax that is calculated according to the rental value of the property a business uses. The rateable value of a business property is based on postcode and size and is often a company's third biggest outgoing after wages and rent. This value is usually set every 5 years but the Government has extended the current period by 2 years, taking it to 2017.
Current business rates (set in April 2010) are therefore based on information up to five years old, meaning thousands of businesses could have been paying too much, and may continue to do so up until 2017.
In fact, many businesses should actually be paying less and may be due a rebate for overpayments in previous years.
