Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce and Tralee Chamber Alliance are joining forces to present what should be very informative and enlightening presentations on the rates revaluation process.

Events will take place in both Killarney and Tralee with members of all chambers welcome to attend.

The keynote speaker at both gatherings will be Terry Fahey, Director of the National Revaluation Programme and the talks will be followed by questions and answers sessions during which he will strive to address any specific issues that arise.

Revaluation 2023 is a national programme aimed at ensuring that the rateable valuation of all commercial and industrial property reflects the current business environment.

The aim is that following revaluation, there will be a more uniform relationship between the annual rental values of commercial properties and their commercial rates liability.

The Valuation Office has published the new valuations and they will be effective from 2024 onwards and mixed properties of domestic and commercial use will only be assessed on the commercial element of the property.

The Tralee presentation will be held tomorrow (Thursday) in the Grand Hotel on Denny Street from 10.30am to 11.55am. Email colette@tralee.ie to register attendance at the Tralee event.

The Killarney event, also tomorrow (Thursday), will be held in the Gleneagle Hotel, Muckross Road from 3pm to 4.25pm and those interested in attending should click here to register attendance.
