Business Rates & Relief Estimator

Overview

Business rates are charged on most non-domestic property. The bill is the rateable value (set by the Valuation Office Agency) multiplied by a multiplier set by the government, less any reliefs. From 1 April 2026 new rateable values apply after the revaluation, and retail, hospitality and leisure (RHL) properties get permanently lower multipliers in place of the old 40% RHL relief.
