Business rates reliefs and reductions

Our guide shows the rate reliefs and reductions that may be able to be applied to your account.

Hardship business rates relief

We can, at our discretion, give you relief from business rates if you are experiencing hardship.

We can give help where:

  • we are satisfied that you would sustain hardship if we did not do so, and
  • it is in the interests of our council tax payers

If you wish to apply for hardship relief you should make your application in writing

You will be required to supply appropriate evidence as explained in the hardship relief policy framework below. Funds are limited and awards will not be made once funding has been allocated.

To apply for hardship relief, see the policy framework document below.
