Business rates

You can apply for small business rates relief if:

• your property's rateable value is less than £15,000 - this changed from £12,000 on 01 April 2017
• you only use one business rated property - however, you may still be able to get relief if you get a second property

If you get a second property you will keep getting relief on your main property for a further 36 months. You can keep getting Small Business Rates Relief on your main property after this 36 month period if both of the following apply:

• none of your other properties have a rateable value above £2,899
• the total rateable value of all your properties is less than £20,000 

Please note that if you started to occupy the second property before the 27 November 2025, then the relief on the main property is only extended for a period of 12 months.
