What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the rental comparison method used by the VO was inappropriate due to insufficient reliable rental evidence for small independent hotels in the locality, and that a shortened profits method based on trading accounts was more suitable. The tribunal found the VO's rental evidence to be of very limited assistance, being historic and questionable in nature, and therefore accepted the appellant's receipts and expenditure approach. The tribunal determined that the fair maintainable trade figures were reasonable and the percentage rates adopted to establish rental bids were appropriate, resulting in rateable values of £70,000 for Kent Hall Hotel and £35,750 for Kadimah Carmel Hotel.
