Business rates reliefs and exemptions

Small business rate relief (SBRR) provides help if your property that has a rateable value (RV) below £15,000.

You can get small business rate relief if:

• you occupy one property.
• the RV of your property is less than £15,000.
• you use more than one property but the RV for each of your other properties is less than £2,900.
• the total RV for all the properties is less than £20,000 (we will only apply SBRR on the main property).
