Business Rates 

Charities are entitled to relief from rates on any property used wholly or mainly for charitable purposes.

Relief of 80% of the full rate bill is given to registered charities, and we have the discretion to remit the all or part of the remaining 20%.

If your organisation is not a registered charity but is another type of non-profit making organisation, we have a discretionary power to grant relief on all or part of the bill.

Community amateur sports clubs are entitled to 80% mandatory rate relief.

We have the power to remit all or part of the remaining 20%. 

To be considered for this relief, organisations must first register with the HM Revenue and Customs.
