Will I Qualify for Rate Relief?
Yes, if you meet one of the criteria below:
- you occupy only one commercial property in England from which you carry out your business and its rateable value in the 2005 rating list is less than £15,000 (this threshold will be increased to £18,000 for the 2010 rating list) ; or;
- you occupy more than one business property but the total rateable value for them all is less than £15,000 (£18,000 from 1st April 2010) and each 'additional' property has a rateable value less than £2,200 (£2,600 from 1st April 2010). This might apply if you have one main property plus some car parking spaces, or a separate store or workshop.
