Small Business Rates Relief

With effect from 1st April 2023 Small Business Rate Relief is available as follows:

• Properties with a rateable value of £12,000 and below will attract 100% business rates relief.
• Properties with a rateable value of £12,000 to £15,000 will attract some business rate relief on a tapering scale.
• Properties with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000 will be subject to the small business multiplier.

Since 2012-13, Small Business Rates Relief has been applied automatically subject to the ratepayer making a formal application or contacting the council.

Businesses with more than one property are only eligible for small business rate relief if their additional property or properties have rateable values under £2,900 and the total rateable value of all their properties is below £20,000 (£28,000 in London).
