What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the subject hotels should be valued using a shortened profits method based on turnover and fair maintainable trade rather than the rental comparison method adopted by the Valuation Officer. The tribunal found that the rental evidence available was of very limited assistance, being historic and questionable in nature, and that the appellant's receipts and expenditure approach was reasonable. The tribunal determined the appeals should be allowed as the proposed rateable values based on percentages of FMT (13% for Kadimah Carmel) were fair and reasonable, with Double Bed Unit rates consistent with agreed values across London locations.
