EMPTY PROPERTY BUSINESS RATES ARE – AN AVOIDABLE TAX
Are you affected by the Unoccupied non-domestic Business Property Rates Legislation where owners of property above the sum of £2,900.00 RV (Rateable Value) are charged 100% FULL non-domestic Business Property Rates on EMPTY/VACANT Industrial Property or Warehouse after having been empty for 6 Months or Shops and Offices after having been EMPTY/VACANT for 3 months. From then on FULL non-domestic Business Property Rates are PERMANENTLY payable until the premises are either RE-LET or SOLD. This is causing a crippling burden on, individuals and companies who are suffering this imposition.
If you have Business Premises that may likely remain empty whilst waiting to secure a new tenant, or you may be a Tenant seeking to secure an assignment of your Lease for the long-term. You will certainly appreciate that meanwhile this can be an expensive drain on resources, particularly so if you are subject to having to pay 100% FULL non-domestic Business Property Rates. We can assist in helping you whilst you continue to seek a long-term solution.
Our Bluetooth Server Units are installed within an empty property in order to send out messages to the public. The servers are able to operate on a 24 hour a day basis and each Transmitter Unit will communicate by Bluetooth to mobile phones when they are in the vicinity of the building concerned (messages are sent FREE of CHARGE to each recipient). This will not affect the continued marketing of your property, indeed if prospective tenants were to view the property it is unlikely they would even know a temporary occupation was in place.

Derby City Council urges action on Bluetooth ”loophole”
Mr Bayliss said the people of Derby were losing “thousands of pounds” in tax
The owners of several empty business units in Derby are exploiting a legal loophole to avoid paying tax, the city council has said.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at Rates-Saver without obligation. For further details phone on: Tel: 01452 524281
Council leader Paul Bayliss said seven buildings in the city had installed Bluetooth boxes to earn a reduction in empty property business rates.
The boxes, which transmit text messages to multiple mobile phones, allow empty units to be classed as occupied.
Mr Bayliss said the practice was denying the city “thousands of pounds”.
Having the boxes installed and transmitting short-range text messages allows otherwise empty properties to be classed as occupied earning a three-month rates exemption for offices and six months for industrial units.
Mr Bayliss said he planned to discuss the issue with MPs
He said: “It”s tax avoidance and by the looks of things it”s legal tax avoidance. We”re working with MPs and officers from other authorities to try and shut this loophole down.
“You could say it”s a smart way to avoid having to pay your taxes but I think most people realise in this day and age, we need every tax penny we can to avoid cutting services.”
