Commercial Rates
Business rates are charged annually by County Councils and Local Authorities on commercial properties based on the Rateable Valuation of each individual property. Currently, the Valuation Office is undertaking a revaluation of all commercial properties throughout Ireland. The opportunity to appeal a rating assessment can occur when the local authority publishes a revaluation list (every five years). Other circumstances in which an appeal may be appropriate include: reassessment following redevelopment or change of use; temporary inability to use a property, or a permanent material change in circumstances.
