	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2017 answer text <p>Business rates liabilities are based on the rateable value and the non-domestic rating multiplier set by the Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) determines the rateable value of the property using three broad methods: a rentals basis; receipts and expenditure (R&amp;E); and a contractor’s basis, that is to say, a building's replacement costs. Rating case law requires that a hierarchy of use is adopted, in the order shown above; i.e. only when a rentals basis is not possible should the valuer adopt R&amp;E, with the contractor’s basis being the method of last resort.</p><p> </p><p>Solar panels are valued using either the R&amp;E method or the contractor’s basis, depending on the circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Good quality CHP is partially-exempt from rating. The rateable parts are valued using either the R&amp;E method or the contractor’s basis, depending on the circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, if the solar panels or good quality CHP is a qualifying microgeneration (below 50kW) installation there is a temporary exemption from rating which means new schemes aren't assessed until the next revaluation takes place.‎</p><p> </p><p>Battery storage technologies are valued using the contractor's basis.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride grouped question UIN 116096 question first answered 01/12/2017 14:09:03 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
