Rates bills

cheqmate06

d/d runs from apr 28 to jan28 over 10 months except for a few rules. if you start your d/d after apr the payments will run till feb28. if there is a reassessment or a new bill issued your d/d will recalculate and continue to lift till feb28.

check when your first started paying and this may make it slightly clearer for you.

Hope this helps a little.;)

The LPS Rates Calculator now seems like it's been updated for the new rates year

Thanks for this Andrew

Turns out my bill is for £1905.88 for next year instead of the £1869.61 that was quoted before not good news in any case since rates for last year were £1225.60.

I just checked the transitional relief website as well and I have just realised that this is the first of three rates hikes which will presumably leave us paying over £3k rates by 2010 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Off to look for a second job...never thought I'd be wishing they'd brought in poll tax here...

**edit** Andrew just noticed your post about water rates. Any ideas yet what kind of money these might be?

£1568.06 over a ten month payment period r with a 4% discount if paid in full before usually second week in May, it will say for definate on your bill which is due to hit your doormat next week (7th-10th)

You see the Total Rate 0.006031

Multiply it by your Capital Value which is 260 000

And the total is what your rates are for the year

I got £ 1568.06

I dont know what I'm missing but Andrew seems to be working out something else

Thanks Cathy and Andrew

OMG that is so dear and I think its a big increase. So we will now have to pay £156 per month!! :eek: :eek: :mad:

Thats just ridiculous, and then the water charges too... :mad: :mad:

Remind me again why has it increased so much and what is our money being for?!! :mad:
