Terms of use
What this site is
Hospitality business rates provides information, tools and data. Figures are researched, sourced inline, and dated; tools show their assumptions. This is a free information site, not a council or the VOA. When you send an enquiry, Joe, who runs this site, reads it and replies to you himself; no rating agent or firm receives your details and you pay nothing to ask. It carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links. Every multiplier and relief is quoted from GOV.UK, the VOA or the council that publishes it, with a link and the date we read it. Nothing here is tax advice; your council's bill is the figure that counts.
What this site is not
Nothing here is financial, legal, tax, medical or other regulated advice, and no tool output is a quote, an offer, or a recommendation to act. Results are estimates from the stated assumptions; confirm anything that matters with a qualified, authorised professional before acting. Where we introduce you to a provider, we act as an introducer only: we do not advise on, arrange, or recommend between providers, and we never handle client money.
Accuracy and liability
We work to keep every figure current (each table shows its last-updated date) but make no warranty that content is error-free. To the extent permitted by law, Joseph Ellul accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on this site. Links to external sites are provided for sourcing; we are not responsible for their content.
Embedding and citation
You may cite this site's data with attribution (a link to the page cited) and may use the embeddable widget where offered, unmodified. Scraping that removes attribution, or republishing tables wholesale without a link, is not permitted.
