Hi everyone, I was just wondering if any of you that work from home have to pay business rates?
I work from salon at my home which is my converted garage... i have been here for 5 years now, but yesterday i had a chap call out of the blue, unannounced, wanting to come in and measure my room. I was confused, as we are remortgaging and have been expecting someone from the mortgage company to come and value our house, but i think he was from the council. He pulled out a floor plan of our house and said he only needs to measure my salon and toilet room.
i had a client in at the time so he couldn't come in and do it, but he said i might be able to claim for small business discount?
I let the council know 5 years ago what i was doing and they said it was fine, and no one asked me to pay any business rates then, so i just think its weird that someone turned up yesterday talking about business rates?
i was just wondering if any one on here has to pay business rates who is working from home,
and how much i would actually need to pay?
thanks everyone xx
