Independent Councillor Patrick Clarke is advising landlords that time is running out for landlords who want to benefit from an available discount on their rate bills.
He said: “As the rates discount deadline for landlords fast approaches, Land & Property Services (LPS) is reminding landlords who have an Article 20 or Article 21 account that their bills should be paid in full by 30 September 2015 in order to receive the respective discount on their bill. “It should be noted that if you are responsible for the rates on one or more rental properties, which are occupied by tenants, you may be entitled to a discount of 10%. “The discount is only awarded when a landlord pays in full by the date due on their landlord rate bill. This allowance does not include their residential address, second homes or personal holiday homes. For more information on the different types of landlord accounts available visit:
