platform for discussion for local taxation issues of
both national and local concern since 1952. It is
aimed at all those involved in or with an interest in
local government revenues and benefits. Forum
membership is on a corporate rather than
individual basis and is open to all public bodies,
local authorities and private companies
irrespective of membership or involvement in
other Institute activities.

"The IRRV Forum Service is my 'safety net' due
to the quality and content of the updates delivered
by David Airey. These updates give me complete
confidence that I have not missed anything that I
should know about, which can be easy to do due
to the excessive volume of information issued on
a daily basis by a variety of agencies."
