Transitional arrangements

Part of: Rateable values, multipliers and revaluations

Transitional relief is a scheme that limits how much a business rates bill can increase due to a revaluation.

This relief will be applied automatically to your business rates bill if the increase in rateable value for your property exceeds the percentage thresholds set.

The scheme for the 2026 revaluation applies from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029:

Rateable value and limits on increases: 2026 to 2029
Rateable value 2026 to 2027 2027 to 2028 2028 to 2029
Up to £20,000 (£28,000 in London) 5% 10% plus inflation 25% plus inflation
£20,001 (£28,001 in London) to £100,000 15% 25% plus inflation 40% plus inflation
Over £100,000 30% 25% plus inflation 25% plus inflation
