Business rates: are you paying for empty space?



Peter Foley is our resident guru here at CPA, and has been passionately following the shifting world of business rates for many years. With a keen political insight, Peter’s writing reveals how policy change is key to understanding your business rates further, and how this could translate into substantial savings. In his weekly column, Peter also outlines a desired path forward, with changes we’d like to see implemented for a fairer system on the nation's business rates.




In today's rapidly changing business landscape, the post-pandemic shift in working habits has undoubtedly impacted our sales areas and production layouts. This shift has potentially left many businesses with surplus space, creating an expensive burden when it comes to paying outdated business rates.
