IBRF - Inter Bank Rating Forum

Promoting a more efficient business rates system

Welcome to IBRF

The IBRF (Inter Bank Rating Forum) is a ratepayers forum comprising representation from most of the financial community in the UK and includes all the major Banks and Building Societies, plus The Royal Mail.

The IBRF Members’ property interests are located in virtually every town and city in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Empty Rates Petition

As you may have seen over the summer, the Government has introduced a provision which in future will mean that petitions with 100,000 signatures will be debated in Parliament. There are therefore many petitions now circulating, but one of the better ones, which we think deserves support, focuses on Empty Property Rates.

The IBRF Wishes Roger Well in his Future Endeavours!

Roger Littlewood (Vice-Chairman of the IBRF) has tendered his resignation from the IBRF due to a change in his personal circumstances, such that he is no longer employed within the Banking industry.
