Business Rates

Business Rates are set by the Government to pay towards services provided by local councils.

We are part of the Anglia Revenues Partnership (ARP) which delivers an efficient Council Tax and Housing Benefit service across five Councils.

Report a change of circumstance

It is important that you tell ARP if your business circumstances change, as it may affect your Business Rates. Examples include:

• if your property becomes empty or occupied
• if you move properties
• if you receive Small Business Rate Relief and you take on another premises
• if the use of your property changes
• if you get Discretionary Rate Relief and there is a significant change to your finances or what the property is used for

Relief and Exemptions

Some properties can get a reduction on their Business Rates. Find out if this applies to your business.

Certain properties are exempt from paying Business Rates.

Empty Properties

When a property becomes empty, it is usually exempt from Business Rates for the first 3 months that it is empty. This may be longer in certain cases.

• Check the length of exemption or apply for Empty Property relief
