Use this form to apply for small business rate relief.
You can get small business rate relief if:
- your business only uses one property with a rateable value of less than £15,000 or
- you use more than one property but the rateable value for each of your other properties is less than £2,899, and the total rateable value is less than £19,999.
You can only get a discount on one property, and the amount you will get depends on the rateable value of your business:
- If your rateable value is £12,000 or below it will be 100%.
- If your rateable value is between £12,001 and £14,999 then relief will go down on a sliding scale from 100% to 0%.
If you don’t qualify for relief but your occupied property has a rateable value of less than £51,000 you will still pay less. Your bill will be automatically calculated using the small business rate multiplier (even if you have more than one property).
This form will ask you to provide
- Your name and position within the organisation
- The address for which you are applying
- Your business rates account reference
- Name and address of the ratepayer
- Contact details
- If the ratepayer has any other occupied business premises in England, the full addresses and rateable values of these properties.
