Connecting Professionals since 1952
The IRRV Forum Service has been providing a platform for discussion on revenues and benefits issues, at both a national and local level, since 1952. It is aimed at those involved in (or with an interest in) Council Tax, Non-Domestic Rate, Sundry Debts and Welfare 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 / involvement in other institute activities. The IRRV Forum Service enables members to network with hundreds of practitioners working within the above areas of the profession. At a time when budgets are being cut, one cannot afford not to be a member of the IRRV Forum Service.
* Price excluding VAT. Membership runs from 1st January to 31st December.
Membership includes
1. Quarterly regional meetings with a technical update delivered by David Airey and expert guest speakers (i.e. representatives from DCLG, DWP and MOJ) focussing on topical issues.
