Business rates
Get help with business rates
You may be able to get a discount from your local council on your business rates if you’re eligible for one or more business rates relief schemes.
For help with your property’s rateable value, contact the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
For help with your business rates bill (for example to pay in instalments) or rate relief, contact your council.

You can also get help from a qualified rating surveyor through one of the following organisations:

You may be charged for any advice you get from a rating surveyor right from the start.
You can get advice from an organisation that’s part of the RICS Helpline Scheme. The first 30 minutes of the consultation call are free.
