Most commercial properties will be subject to the
Business Rate, the occupier will pay the Business Rate, but
if the property is empty the owner or leaseholder will pay
a reduced rate, unless exempt.
To work out your bill, we multiply your rateable value
by the national non-domestic multiplier. This is the rate
in the pound set each year by the Government. Between
revaluation's the mutilper cannot increase by more each
financial year than the annual rate of inflation (as at the
previous September). In most cases this will be the amount
you have to pay. However where transitional arrangements
apply then a further amendment to the bill will be made.

arrangements
There are other circumstances when you may qualify
for a reduction.
