RATING AND VALUATION, WALES

Paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 6 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”) provides that the rateable value of a non-domestic hereditament is taken to be an amount equal to the rent at which it is estimated the hereditament might reasonably be expected to be let from year to year (subject to specified assumptions). In those cases where there is no available information on the general rental market and profit and loss cannot be used as an indication of rental value, the rateable value of a non-domestic hereditament is instead ascertained by decapitalising the estimated total capital value of the hereditament (this is known as “the contractor’s basis of valuation”). The decapitalisation rates are prescribed by regulations made by the Welsh Ministers under paragraph 2(8) of Schedule 6 to the 1988 Act. These rates are prescribed in regulation 2 of the Non-Domestic Rating (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Regulations 1989 (as amended) (“the 1989 Regulations”).
