Where a hereditament satisfies the conditions prescribed by the article specified in column (1) of the table below, and the rateable value of the hereditament is within the range in the corresponding row in column (2), E is the amount specified or as calculated in the corresponding row in column (3).
(1) Article | (2) Rateable value (£) | (3) Amount of E |
|---|---|---|
7 (rateable value) | 0 to 6,000 | 5,000,000 |

The amount of E (for hereditaments meeting the child care conditions) is derived from dividing 14,500 by the figure reached by subtracting 6000 from the rateable value of the hereditament shown in the local non-domestic rating list for that day, calculated to three decimal places (rounding up or down as appropriate).
