EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This is not part of the above Statutory Notice, but is intended to be explanatory only) The Road Rate for 2027 is set in accordance with the Wentworth Estate Act 1964 as amended by the Wentworth Estate Act 1964 (Road Rate) (Amendment) Regulations 1990.
Consequent upon the abolition of domestic rating under the Regulations, Domestic Net Rateable Values as at 31st March 1990 (or as subsequently updated) are multiplied by a calculated factor which gives New Domestic Net Rateable Values, enabling a uniform Road Rate to be set for both Domestic and Non Domestic chargeable hereditaments.
The calculated factor (27.4482) maintains the proportion as at 31 st March 2017 of the Net Rateable Values of the shops and businesses etc. (Classified as Non Domestic from 1st April 2017) in relation to the total Net Rateable Value of all chargeable hereditaments.
