There are a number of different types of business rate reliefs and exemptions available. The types of reliefs available can change from year to year.
If you apply for rate relief or an exemption, you must continue to pay the amount shown on your original business rates bill until we confirm any reduction by sending you a revised bill.
Some types of reliefs are mandatory, some are discretionary, and some have both a mandatory and discretionary element. The cost of relief is shared between the central government and the authority.
