Many businesses in the UK have been overpaying their business rates bills for years, sometimes going back as far as 1995.
The billing process and rating system in general often makes it almost impossible to calculate retrospectively what should have been paid.
CPRA Group have a team of skilled auditors who are able to analyse historic billing and calculate any errors or overpayments made, which we can then get credited back to the ratepayer. These miscalculations often run into tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds. This is particularly important for businesses with portfolios or those receiving multiple rate demands for a single property.
We use our expert knowledge of the rating system, the billing authorities processes for calculating rate bills and any relevant legislation to uncover historic miscalculations and unclaimed credits. CPRA can complete an audit in a matter of weeks and we do not charge any upfront fees for our rating audit service.
