Outgoings

Business Rates/Property Tax

No properties were found where ABRDN SMALLER COMPANIES INCOME TRUST PLC is liable for the business rates / property tax. This could be for a number of reasons.

The council hasnt published the data
We havent found or been able to process the councils data
The company is part of a group of companies and another company in the group is liable for business rates
The registered office may be a residential address which does not have a commercial designation. If the business is run from home then it won't be a commercial property and hence won't be liable for business rates.
Serviced offices are increasingly popular and therefore a business may not be paying business rates directly - the building owner is and this is incorporated in the office rental charge.
