About ChallengeMyRates
We exist because business rates shouldn't be this hard.
Business rates are one of the biggest costs UK businesses face — and the system is stacked against you. We use technology and official government data to identify potential issues and help you choose the right council or VOA route.

£29 council letter + VAT
The fixed fee covers a council correction letter, not a VOA service. A conditional VOA Challenge is 10% of confirmed liability savings, capped at £399 plus VAT.

The Problem
The current system isn't built for you
Traditional rating surveyors often charge a percentage of whatever they save you — for example, a 20% fee on a £10,000 saving would be £2,000.
Many businesses don't challenge their rates at all — because the process is opaque, the fees are high, and they don't know where to start.
And with the new Duty to Notify being phased in from 2026 (mandatory for all by 2029), businesses that prepare early will be ready when the compliance rules apply to them.
Our Approach
Transparent, affordable, automated
Property monitoring and the initial bill review are free. A council correction letter is £29 plus VAT. VOA work is separate: an authorised Challenge costs 10% of confirmed liability savings, capped at £399 plus VAT, and costs £0 if there is no confirmed liability reduction.
You run a free review, see the potential issues we identify, and decide which clearly scoped service—if any—is right for you.
