Apply for business rates reduction and relief

You can apply for small business rate relief if your business occupies either:

• one property with a rateable value less than £15,000
• one main property plus other properties, as long as those other properties have rateable values of less than £2,900 and the total value of all occupied properties is less than £28,000

We’ll only apply the relief to the main property.

If your business takes on another property, which would otherwise mean the loss of small business rate relief, you’re still entitled to relief on the first property for 12 months from the date on which you occupied the new property.

If you’re getting small business rate relief, you must tell us if:

• you occupy another property
• there’s an increase in rateable value of a property you occupy in another local authority area
