alt Hacker NewsWow a fantastic independent pub near where I used to live in London is seeing its rateable value go up 480%! This website really puts the headlines in to a nice local perspective.
It seems like the taxes only go up while the services get worse in the UK, although I’ve been away for 5 years now so maybe things improved.

The services have certainly not got better in the last 5 years. This Government is fiscally illiterate and has hit the top of the Laffer curve and is now trying to go down the other side.
Amateurs. One close to me is at an +821% increase in its tax bill and rateable value at 613%.

Rateable value is based on what the market prices would be to rent that space. So, somebody is doing nicely apparently.
