The Rateable Value is then used by the Billing Authority to calculate the amount of rates payable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sites are reassessed and new Rateable Values put in place at the start of each Rating Revaluation. We are currently in the 2023 Rating Revaluation, which commenced on 1 April 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This briefing provides guidance for understanding rates liabilities on solar assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please see details of the newly agreed rateable value with the Valuations Office Agency and the updated SEUK Business Rates Advice FAQ. Please note that SEUK is unable to advise companies on their individual business rate liabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-block-download-file-block_e59c184f576b30b9afadf3a3fc4f7aaa\" class=\"acf-block-download-file d-md-flex flex-row\" data-aos=\"fade-in\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023-Solar-PV-Memorandum-of-Agreement-signed-by-SEUK-GE-VOA.pdf\" download class=\"acf-block-download-file__image d-block hover-opacity-0-75\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Business-Rates-FAQs-2.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"c-pl-md-5 d-block c-mt-md-0 c-mt-4 acf-block-download-file__content\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n                    <\/div>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2023-Solar-PV-Memorandum-of-Agreement-signed-by-SEUK-GE-VOA.pdf\" class=\"acf-block-download-file__link font-size-18 font-weight-semibold d-inline-block c-mt-5\" download>\n            <span class=\"acf-block-download-file__text d-inline-block position-relative c-mr-1\">\n                Download                <span class=\"acf-block-download-file__file-type\">pdf<\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg viewBox=\"0 0 31 31\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                <circle cx=\"15.5\" cy=\"15.8081\" r=\"14\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n                <path d=\"M15.3555 7.55811L15.3555 19.8702\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n                <path d=\"M20.9121 14.2993L15.3546 19.8697L9.79711 14.2993\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n                <line x1=\"9.79687\" y1=\"23.0581\" x2=\"20.9119\" y2=\"23.0581\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n            <\/svg>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-block-download-file-block_a2b666b2cef54143afa8f2829c8d781d\" class=\"acf-block-download-file d-md-flex flex-row\" data-aos=\"fade-in\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Business-Rates-FAQs-2.pdf\" download class=\"acf-block-download-file__image d-block hover-opacity-0-75\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Business-Rates-FAQs.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"c-pl-md-5 d-block c-mt-md-0 c-mt-4 acf-block-download-file__content\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n                    <\/div>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Business-Rates-FAQs-2.pdf\" class=\"acf-block-download-file__link font-size-18 font-weight-semibold d-inline-block c-mt-5\" download>\n            <span class=\"acf-block-download-file__text d-inline-block position-relative c-mr-1\">\n                Download                <span class=\"acf-block-download-file__file-type\">pdf<\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg viewBox=\"0 0 31 31\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                <circle cx=\"15.5\" cy=\"15.8081\" r=\"14\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n                <path d=\"M15.3555 7.55811L15.3555 19.8702\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n                <path d=\"M20.9121 14.2993L15.3546 19.8697L9.79711 14.2993\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n                <line x1=\"9.79687\" y1=\"23.0581\" x2=\"20.9119\" y2=\"23.0581\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n            <\/svg>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":1763,"template":"","resources_type":[9],"custom_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2343","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resources_type-briefing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v24.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Business Rates - Advice and FAQs &#8226;
