Your business rate bill
Before the start of each financial year the
Council will send a business rates bill to everyone
who the Council has on record as being responsible for
paying a non-domestic rate. This bill will show the net
amount due after any reductions you may be entitled to.
Details of possible reductions can be found on the Reducing your rates
bill page.
You can pay your bill annually, six monthly or by monthly
instalments, and you will be given at least 14 days notice before
the first payment is due.
If you disagree with the bill, please contact us to discuss what
you object to and why. If you disagree because of a change in
liability the Council will issue an amended bill to
you, usually within 14 days of receiving the new information.
If you disagree because of a valuation matter you must follow the
appeals procedure to take your complaint to the Valuation
Tribunal. While you are following this procedure, you will
still be expected to pay the instalments when they are
due.
