Update: Business Rates Revaluation

The ASSC has received the following update from the Scottish Assessors Association regarding the Committee citation programme:

Argyll and Bute

 

Dunbarton

Dealt with June 18

 

March 19

Highland Dealt with October 18
Borders 28-Nov-18
Tayside 29-Nov-18
Central Dec 18 & Feb 19
O&S Feb-19
Lothian 14-Mar-19
Renfrew Summer 19

 

The statistics are proving to be more troublesome than first envisaged, mainly because there is an imbalance between the appeal numbers on the portal v. the records held for Lothian.  It may be a data upload issue which is being investigated.  This means that the statistics for the other Assessors’ shown below may not be totally accurate and are best described as a ‘steer’:-

Ayrshire – 5

Central – 10

Dunbarton – 4

Dumfries and Galloway – 11

Fife – 18

Glasgow – 10

Grampian – 21

Lothian – 242

Orkney and Shetland – 2

Renfrew – 0

Scottish Borders – 0

Tayside – 53

In summary, appeals have been resolved in Argyll and Bute, Highland, Lothian, Scottish Borders and in Tayside.

Lothian has the most appeals and they have been cited for a hearing on 14th March 2019 (citations posted last Friday) – the citations have Lothian Assessor surveyor’s contact details and members are more than welcome to contact the person directly if they wish to do so.
