What does the NIVT do?

The NIVT can hear appeals brought under 3 different articles of the Rates (NI) Order 1977 (NI28), as amended by the Rates (Amendment) (NI) Order 2006 (NI18).  These are set out in full here, but put simply are:

• Where the valuation of a property is altered and it is disputed by the owner
• Where a review of a property with disabled facilities is disputed by the owner
• Where a relevant party disputes a decision made by the Commissioner

• Where a review of entitlement to exemption is disputed by the relevant party

• Where a review of entitlement to a rebate is disputed by the relevant party

The Rate Relief (Low Carbon Homes Scheme) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010:

• Where a review of entitlement to relief is disputed by the relevant party.

And the Rate Relief (Energy Efficiency Homes Scheme) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010:

• Where a review of entitlement to a reduction is disputed by the relevant party.
