Business Rates

Business Rates (or National Non-Domestic Rates / NNDR) are charged on most non-domestic properties such as shops, offices, pubs, warehouse, factories, holiday rental homes and guest houses.

Business Rates are based on rules set by Government.

Anglia Revenues Partnership (ARP) deals with business rates on behalf of Fenland District Council and several other authorities.

Business Rates changes in 2026

The way business rates are calculated is due to change in 2026.

The Valuation Office Agency is carrying out one of its regular updates of the rateable values and there are other changes too.

Rateable values are the amount of rent a property could have been let for on a set valuation date.

Rateable values are used by local councils to calculate business rate bills. Using this value as a basis, local councils will apply a standard percentage or 'multiplier' and details of any reliefs and discounts to give the amount to be paid.

As well as updates to rateable values in 2026, there are changes to the "multipliers."

if you get Discretionary Rate Relief and there is a significant change to your finances or what the property is used for.
