Reducing your rates bill
Transitional relief is an adjustment to the bill
where rates increase significantly following a revaluation in
order to phase in the change gradually. Unfortunately this
works the opposite way if rateable values decrease significantly.
In this situation, a transitional surcharge can apply.
Transitional relief is automatically calculated - there is no need
to make an application.
Mandatory and Discretionary Relief are reductions to your
business rates for a property occupied by a registered charity or
by a non-profit making organisation.
Small Business Rate Relief was introduced from 1 April
2005. If you have a business with a rateable value less than
£15,000 you may be able to qualify. For advice on how the
scheme works and how to claim see our Small
Business Rate Relief page.
To obtain information on these reliefs or make an application,
either contact the Business Rates Team on 01992 785584 or send an
