Non-domestic rates is a significant outgoing for many businesses, and a source of billions of pounds of revenue for local authorities. One of the key factors affecting liability to this tax is the value of the property which companies own and occupy, and the valuation of property for rating has evolved into a sophisticated and subtle expert profession in its own right. There are many traps for the unwary, and those new to the field often approach valuation issues with trepidation.

This book guides the reader through the complexities of the subject. It analyses and explains the statutory framework, and the key concepts as they have developed through centuries of jurisprudence. The book also introduces the main methods of valuation which will be encountered in modern rating practice, and identifies the hot topics and areas of development in this ever-evolving field. The book will be of use to lawyers, surveyors, and anyone else seeking to understand this fascinating subject.
