Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Quick question on business rates, if a person is renting a building but using it for personal use and not for business use (or making money) is there any exemption available for business rates making them not payable just asking as i rent a small unit (glorified shed really) but use it to store stuff, nothing to do with a business or making money just like having a garage or shed at home, just a bit mift at the amount of cash going to the council for nothing...... cheers guys!
But is there any such thing as an exemption under these circumstances or is it at the councils discretion, thing is i would rather know before i talk to the council as they are bound to say there is no exemption even if there is
It's not actually set on a 'business' premises but on non domestic premises.
You wil probably be able to get a 50% reduction on the amount you have to pay, but if it is a 'shed' as you say, the ratable value may be set higher than the building is actually worth.
You can find the rateable value of your building by doing a search on the VOA website.
Whilst the 'shed' is in the non-domestic rating list, you would be liable for busienss rates unless the VOA agree to remove it from the list as it is no longer capable of business use.
