What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, as landlord of a basement car park with 260 parking spaces, challenged the effective date of 1 April 2017 when the spaces entered the 2017 rating list, after the valuation officer initially listed them as a single hereditament on 24 January 2022 and then split them into 204 individual spaces on 31 October 2022. The appellant contended the effective date should be either 31 October 2022 (when the split occurred) or 24 January 2022 (when first entered). The tribunal found that since the car parking spaces existed before 1 April 2017 and the valuation officer was correcting a compiled list error under regulation 14(1B), the correct effective date was 1 April 2017 (the commencement of the 2017 list), rejecting the appellant's attempt to benefit from the valuation officer's earlier misidentification of the hereditament.
