Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order.)

Schedule 14 to the Rates (Northern Ireland) Order 1977 provides for the apportionment of the net annual value of a mixed-use hereditament between its use for industrial purposes and its use for other purposes. It further provides that where the overall net annual value of a mixed hereditament does not exceed £300, the hereditament will be treatment as if it were wholly used for industrial purposes. In such a case no apportionment need by carried out.

This Order increases the £300 limit to £1,800. The increase is in line with the average increase in valuations in the non-domestic sector following a revaluation of that sector. A new valuation list comes into effect on the same day as this Order.
