Provisional Applications

Premises under construction that have not been allocated a non-domestic rateable value will be given such a value as soon as a completion certificate is given. In these cases it is proposed to allocate such premises to band C. Subsequent annual fees will relate to the non-domestic rateable value given to the property.
