Charitable rate relief
Charitable organisations that occupy a non-domestic property for activities in connection with the purposes of that charity, are entitled to business rates relief of 80% of the bill.
We have the discretion to remit all or part of the remaining 20% of the organisation's bill.
Private Schools
At the Budget on 30th October 2024, the Chancellor announced the removal of relief for private schools in England with effect from the 1st April 2025.
Section 5 of The Non-Domestic Rating (Multiplyers and Private Schools) Bill provides that the hereditament is situated in England and, on the day concerned, the hereditament is wholly or mainly used for the purposes of carrying on a private school.
