Business rates
Business rates are a local tax paid by the occupiers of non-domestic property in England and Wales. Business rates are calculated and collected by local authorities. They are put in a central pool and then redistributed back to local authorities to help to pay for local services.
Business rates depend on:
- The rateable value of a property, which is set by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
- The multiplier set by central government.
- Rate relief schemes applied by the local authority.
NB: On 1 April 2017 a new business rates appeal process system was introduced in England known as the check, challenge and appeal (CCA). See Check, challenge, appeal for more information.
