Small Business Rate Relief - Small business rate relief
Small business rate relief is a discount for small businesses and other organisations.

You can't get small business relief if any of the following apply:

the property is empty
you can get mandatory charity rate relief
you can get mandatory rural rate relief
Small business rate relief discounts are based on the rateable value of the property in relation to lower and upper threshold figures set by central government.

From 1 April 2017, the lower threshold is £12,000 and the upper threshold is £15,000.

To get small business relief, either of the following must apply:

you occupy a single property with a rateable value of up to the upper threshold
you occupy one property with a rateable value up to the upper threshold and other properties that each have a rateable value below £2,900 (from 1 April 2017) and the total rateable value of all properties is below £20,000.
You can only get the discount for the main property.

If you take on another property that means your business no longer meets these conditions, you can still keep getting small business rate relief for another year.

How much rate relief small businesses can get
Properties with a rateable value below the lower threshold get 100% discount. This discount then decreases gradually until it reaches 0% for properties with a rateable value at the upper threshold. This sliding scale is called tapered relief.

From 1 April 2017, the discount goes down by 4% for every £120 of rateable value.
