The conclusions of the Fundamental Review of Business Rates (in England) - a review that began nearly two years ago - were published on Budget Day in October. The Final Report reaffirmed the importance of business rates and its continued central role in the tax system. The tax is therefore retained, but will be reformed. The reforms include: 3-year revaluations, which will involve new obligations and responsibilities for ratepayers and their professional advisers and further changes to the appeal system, the introduction of new reliefs - improvement relief and support for investment in green plant and machinery. If you provide rating advice, then you must watch this module.

Do you Think Giving Evidence is Easy?

You may be a frequent flyer or a novice, but never ever be ill prepared before entering a judicial environment. It only takes one flippant remark, a comment without suitable foundations, or one biased statement and at best you will be digging yourself and your evidence out of the quick sand. At worst you could leave the witness box with your reputation and expert witness career in tatters. The same is true of written evidence. This event is hugely relevant to anyone who appears in any judicial environment. The speakers have been invited because of their skills and experience across Landlord & Tenant, rating and CPO practice.
