The purpose of this report is to consider an
application for relief under section 44A of the Local Government
Finance Act 1988.
THAT:
(a)The application for relief under section 44A of the Local
Government Finance Act 1988 is allowed and that the valuation
officer should be required by the Council to apportion the rateable
value of the hereditament between the occupied and unoccupied parts
and certify the apportionment under section 44A of the Local
Government Finance Act 1988 for the period 18th March 2018 to 1st
May 2018.
It is accepted that the parts of the
hereditament highlighted on the building plan as vacant are vacant
as stated and will remain so for a short time only. Therefore, the
criteria allowed for the granting of relief under section 44A of
the Local Government Finance Act 1988 have all been met.
The alternative to the proposals would be not
to require the Valuation Officer to apportion the rateable value of
the hereditament between the occupied and unoccupied parts and
therefore not apply any relief.
