Complete this form to apply for small business rates relief.
Notes
All properties in England occupied by the ratepayer must be listed. It should be noted, that for any particular day, the billing authority will disregard the ratepayer’s occupation of an additional property where:
- its rateable value shown in the local non-domestic rating list for that day is not more than £2,899; and
- the aggregate rateable value on that day of all properties the ratepayer occupies in England is not more than £19,999
The application must be completed by the ratepayer or a person authorised to apply on behalf of the ratepayer. This means, where the ratepayer is
- a partnership, a partner of that partnership;
- a trust, a trustee of that trust;
- a body corporate, a director of that body, and in any other case, a person duly authorised to complete applications on behalf of the ratepayer
Warning
It is a criminal offence for a ratepayer to give false information when making an application for small business rate relief. Please be reminded that it is the ratepayers’ responsibility to inform the billing authority of any future changes to eligibility
