Properties exempt from Business Rates

Certain types of property are exempt from business rates. The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) does not assess these types of property for rateable value.

Exempt types of property include:

  • agricultural land and buildings including fish farms
  • use of buildings for the training or welfare of disabled persons
  • buildings registered for public religious worship and church halls

A full list of the exempt types of property can be found below or in Schedule 5 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988.
