47/2009 The Cabinet agreed the Business Rate
Relief guidelines as set out in Appendices 1 to 3 to the report, to
apply for the next three years from 1 April 2009.
Relief from business rates where appropriate
is a crucial factor in the survival of many voluntary organisations
that support the educational, cultural and economic well being of
the Medway area. An equitable and affordable procedure for the
award of such relief is a necessary part of the Council's
administrative process.
