Rate in Europe
Definition of Rate
A sum assessed or made payable by a local authority in respect of the enjoyment or occupation of property in proportion to its value (pro rata, hence ” rate”). Provision is made by the Rating and Valuation Act, 1925, for the consolidation of the various pre-existing rates, e.g., poor rate, district rate, into one ” general rate ” for a district, and “special rate” for a parish. From April 1, 1927, the powers and duties of the overseers of the poor are transferred to the various councils, who become the rating authorities for their respective areas. Assessment and valuation committees are instituted to promote uniformity of valuation. ” Rateable value” means the value on which rates are to be assessed
