CHANGES IN RATEABLE VALUE Clause Samples
The "Changes in Rateable Value" clause addresses how adjustments to the rateable value of a property—typically for tax or business rates purposes—are managed between the parties to a lease or contract. It sets out the process for handling increases or decreases in the rateable value, which may affect the amount of rates payable, and often specifies who is responsible for paying any resulting changes in costs. This clause ensures that both parties are clear on their financial obligations if the rateable value is reassessed, thereby preventing disputes and allocating the risk of such changes.
