Revaluation Transitional Relief

A Revaluation, where the values of all properties are reviewed, has been carried out with all values effective from 1 April 2023.

If you want to appeal against your rateable value or have any questions about it, please contact the Assessor for the Lothian Valuation Joint Board at www.saa.gov.uk

Increases in Rateable Value

Increases in rates liabilities due to revaluation will be capped in 2024/25, in cash terms (relative to 31 March 2023), at:

• 25% for small properties (rateable value up to and including £20,000)
• 50% for medium-sized properties (rateable value from £20,001 up to and including £100,000), and
• 75% for large properties (rateable value over £100,000).

Subsidy Control

It is unlikely that this relief would be considered a subsidy as it is a general measure.
