Apply for small business rate relief

To apply for small business rates relief your business:

• must only use one property with a rateable value of less than £15,000 or
• if you use more than one property. the rateable value for each of your other properties must be less than £2,899, and the total rateable value less than £19,999.

You can only get a discount on one property, and the amount you will get depends on the rateable value of your business:

• If your rateable value is £12,000 or below it will be 100%.
• If your rateable value is between £12,001 and £14,999 then relief will go down on a sliding scale from 100% to 0%.

If you don’t qualify for relief but your occupied property has a rateable value of less than £51,000 you will still pay less. Your bill will be automatically calculated using the small business rate multiplier (even if you have more than one property).
