Business Rates
Non-domestic rates (often called business rates) is a national tax collected locally by the Council which is payable by the occupier or owner of business property.
Estimate your Business Rates
You can check the ‘rateable value’ of your property - this is set by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and used by your local council to calculate your business rates bill.
Multiply the rateable value for your business with a ‘multiplier’ set by the government to estimate your business rates.
A multiplier is the number of pence per pound of rateable value that you’ll have to pay in business rates, before any relief or discounts are deducted.
