Business Rates

Stack of pound coinsNational Non-Domestic Rates (often called NNDR or Business Rates) are a form of tax charged on properties used for non-domestic purposes.

Other than certain discretionary relief, the Council has no part in setting the charge for Business Rates.

The non-domestic rates collected nationally are paid to the government who reallocates the money to all the local authorities according to the number of people living in the area, except in the City of London where special arrangements apply.

Our share of the re-distributed rates, together with what we collect from Council Tax, government funding and other sources pays for the services we and other local authorities in your area provide.
