Relief is given at 80% of the full bill, however local councils have discretion to give further relief on the remaining bill. Authorities also have the discretion to give relief on all or part of any rate bill for property occupied by certain non-profit making bodies.

Non profit making sports clubs that are registered under the Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) scheme can claim 80% mandatory relief on their rates. Please visit the CASC website for registration and information details.
