In response to your request for information under the Freedom of Information act. I attach a file of properties with rateable values below £12,000 that do not currently receive Small Business Rate Relief. I should point out that I am unable to advise you whether or not the current ratepayers of these premises meet the other criteria to be eligible for Small Business Rate Relief.

Dear FOI West,
Thank you for providing this list as per my request on 07.12.12. Looking at the list in detail, I believe it is inaccurate, the RVs in the spreadsheet are not the correct RVs for each premises' billing authority number.
I would be grateful if a revised and accurate list could be provided.
Many thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Tom Clapinson

Dear Mr Clapinson
Thank you for your email, I apologise for the errors in the original table. Please find attached a new and accurate table. The only difference is the inclusion of the column SBRR which will show "Y" or "N".
