BUSINESSES across Sedgemoor are being warned about companies ‘cold calling’ claiming they will be able to substantially reduce business rate payments.
Sedgemoor District Council say businesses can make an appeal direct to the Valuation Office, without going through a third party and are advising owners to check out the credentials of anyone visiting their property and say there should be no need to pay up front.
Any ratepayer with a query about the rateable value assessed, reliefs or exemptions, or changes of occupier or to the premises can contact the Revenues Team at SDC via 0845 408 2540 / 01278 435435 or email the team at nndr@sedgemoor.gov.uk
For further information please contact the Valuation Officer direct at www.voa.gov.uk or by telephoning 03000 507000.
