FAQS
What are business rates?
Business rates are defined as a form of tax on all non-domestic properties. This includes most commercial properties, such as office buildings, industrial facilities or retail spaces. Business rates in England are collected annually by local councils. They are calculated based on a building’s ‘rateable value’, which is assessed by the Valuation Office agency (VOA).
Given the complex meanings behind terminology and policies relating to business rates, it’s usually best to contact a business rate tax advisory service for advice on potential payment relief.
Who pays business rates?
Business rates are typically paid by the business occupying a non-domestic property, also known as the ‘occupier’. If a property is empty, business rates will usually be paid by the owner, though empty property relief or other exemptions may also apply.
