Calculation of Section 44A Relief. 5.6.1 Where EK Services agrees to award a Section 44A Relief, we will notify the Valuation Officer to seek a reduction in the rateable value. EK Services cannot be held responsible for any delays in the Valuation Officer providing this information to the Council.
5.6.2 The amount of relief is calculated on a statutory basis based on the rateable value of the empty portion of the property. The appropriate rateable value is provided to EK Services by the Valuation Office Agency.
5.6.3 EKS will not apply to the Valuation Officer for a determination of relief amount until it has confirmed the eligibility for an award.
