How Business Rates Work for Railway Arches
Business rates are a tax on non-domestic property, set by central government and collected by your local council. Every commercial property — including railway arches — has a Rateable Value (RV) assessed by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA). Your annual rates bill is calculated by multiplying your RV by the applicable multiplier.
