Business rates
Due to Coronavirus the Government has extended the businesses that can claim rate relief. Please read our extended retail discount rate relief information.
Business rates - the commonly used term for non-domestic rates - are charged on most non-domestic premises, including most commercial properties such as shops, offices, pubs, warehouses and factories.
If you use a building or part of a building for business, you will probably have to pay business rates.
We will send you a business rates bill each year. You can see the notes that explain bills issued for 2020 Explanatory notes and 2019 Explanatory notes.
