After POLL, What Happens Next?

This event runs as an informal discussion with a small panel of leading and informed practitioners extracting the nuances from the selected topic - Empty Property Rates. They discuss practical issues that arise, with participants in the meeting being encouraged to listen, join in, ask questions and share comments.

This in-person Winter Briefing examines the policy, process and practical challenges facing rating practitioners nine months into the current Rating List. Bringing together government, the VOA, VTS and senior practitioners, the programme considers emerging policy, the challenge of managing unprecedented volumes of work, and the practical issues affecting the operation of the rating system.
