What are Business Rates?

Business rates are the commercial version of Council Tax. The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) value them and the Local Authority collect the money.

The VOA create what is called a Rateable Value. This is based on the annual market rental values of your premises.

The government also have a role to play – they confirm what reliefs the Local Authority give out to ratepayers and issue the multiplier.

Then the rates payable you pay every year is based on the rateable value times by the multiplier, subtracting all the reliefs you are entitled to.

The multipliers are set to be 54.6p and 49.9p to every pound that you pay on rent every year from 1st April 2024. This is one of the highest property taxes in the world and could affect the profitability of many organisations. This is why our clients need us more than ever.
