Small business rate relief

You may get small business rate relief if the property you occupy has a rateable value of less than £15,000.

If the property your business occupies has a rateable value of £12,000 or less, you can apply to receive a 100% discount on business rates

If the property your business occupies has a rateable value of between £12,001-£14,999 a percentage-based discount worked out on a sliding scale may apply – for example, if the rateable value is £13,500 the discount would be 50% of the full rates

Businesses with more than one property are only eligible for small business rate relief if their additional properties all have rateable values of under £2,900 and the total rateable value of all their properties does not exceed £28,000.
