Small Business Rates Relief

Small business rate relief
You can get small business rate relief if:

Your property’s rateable value is less than £15,000

your business only uses one property - you may still be able to get relief if you use more

You cannot get small business rate relief and charitable rate relief at the same time. Your local council will decide which type of relief you’re eligible for.

What you’ll get
How much small business rate relief you get depends on your property’s rateable value.

You will not pay business rates on a property with a rateable value of £12,000 or less, if that’s the only property your business uses.

For properties with a rateable value of £12,001 to £15,000, the rate of relief will go down gradually from 100% to 0%.

Example
If your rateable value is £13,500, you’ll get 50% off your bill. If your rateable value is £14,000, you’ll get 33% off.

If you use more than one property
When you get a second property, you’ll keep getting any existing relief on your main property for 12 months.

You can still get small business rate relief on your main property after this if both 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 (£28,000 in London)

The amount of small business rate relief you’re eligible for may change. For example, it may decrease if the rateable value of your property has increased.
