Business rates relief and reductions

The Welsh Government (WG) has expanded the High Street Rates Relief scheme to eligible ratepayers for 2019/20

From 1 st October 2010 the Welsh Government temporarily increased the level of relief available to small businesses in Wales. 

Registered Charities and registered Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASC’s) can apply for charitable relief.

Not for profit organisations can apply for discretionary rates relief and receive up to 100% relief on their rates bill. 

Most business properties will be liable to pay business rates even when they are empty.

The Council has discretionary powers to award hardship relief to business ratepayers.

Transitional relief will be implemented to support ratepayers whose eligibility for Small Business Rate Relief (SBRR) will be affected as a result of the revaluation.
