Small business rate relief
Small businesses with rateable values up to £12,000 may be eligible for a reduction in rates.
- All single occupied properties with rateable values of less than £6,000 will receive a reduction of 50%.
- All single occupied properties with rateable values between £6,001-£12,000 will receive relief on a sliding scale - 1% for every £120 rateable value until £12,000. If your rateable value is more than £12,000 you will not be entitled to a discount but if it is below £17,999 you will not have to pay the supplement levied for the relief.
- If a ratepayer has additional businesses with rateable values of less than £2,599, relief can still be applied if the combined rateable value of all the properties is less than £17,999.
- All businesses with rateable values of more than £17,999 will pay a small supplement to fund the relief.
The council will calculate the exact amount of your discount.
