Calculation of your 2026 Rates Liability

The following formula is used to calculate your indicative Rates Liability for 2026.
(Valuation of the property) x ARV = Rates Liability
Example: Valuation of the Property: (€5,900) ARV: (.2686) €5,900 x .2686 = €1,584.74
In the example above the Commercial Rates Liability for 2026 is €1,584.74
