National Non-Domestic Rates are the way businesses and other occupiers of non-domestic property contribute towards the costs of local authority services. The tax is set by the government and collected by us.
Business Rate bills can be paid in a variety of ways. See payment methods and choose the most appropriate for you.
Look up the rateable value of your business property, view your summary valuation and make an appeal to alter the rating list entry. This external link goes to the Valuation Office Agency.
Business or non-domestic premises include most commercial properties, such as shops, offices, pubs, warehouses and factories but there are some exceptions. This external link goes to Business Link.
A small business may be entitled to relief from rates, dependant on the rateable value of their premises. Follow the external links to keep up to date with the changing levels of support available.
If you work from home you may have to pay business rates on the part of your house that you use for work. You will still have to pay council tax on the rest of the property. This external link goes to Business Link.
Changing your premises may affect the rateable value, which in turn may affect the amount of business rates you should pay. This external link goes to Business Link.
Appeals against non-domestic business rates, an invalidity notice, completion notice, transitional certificate or drainage rates. This external link goes to the Valuation Tribunal.
