Mid Devon District Council is holding another FREE drop-in event to answer any questions businesses have about their latest Business Rates bill.

Local businesses will have recently received their Business Rates bills for 2026-27. These will include changes to the amount businesses pay because of a Business Rates revaluation and changes to Business Rates Relief.

To support businesses in understanding their new bills, Revenues Officers will be available to explain how bills are calculated, outline what the changes mean, and answer specific queries. The session will give businesses the opportunity to discuss their individual circumstances in detail and receive tailored guidance. At previous events, officers have been able to advise businesses on issues such as:

• Appealing a property valuation
• Using the Council’s online self-service account
• What to do when a property is split
• Procedures for notifying the Council when a new occupier moves in

Dean Emery, Head of Revenues, Benefits, & Leisure, said:

"We are pleased to be able to offer a further Business Rates drop-in event. This builds upon the positive feedback we received from the event held earlier in the year, where businesses were able to speak directly with the Revenues Officers about their Business Rates."
