What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (landlord) challenged the effective date of 204 car parking spaces entering the 2017 rating list, arguing they should be dated from 31 October 2022 (when the single hereditament was split) or alternatively 24 January 2022 (when the car park first entered the list). The tribunal found that the valuation officer was correcting a compiled list error by splitting one incorrectly-recorded hereditament into 204 accurate ones. Applying regulation 14(1B), since the car parking spaces had existed well before 1 April 2017 and the correction was of an initial inaccuracy in the list, the correct effective date was 1 April 2017, the start of the 2017 list. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, holding that allowing a later effective date would unjustly allow the appellant to benefit from the valuation officer's error.
