The Finance Minister has announced a further £213 million of business rates support in addition to the emergency £100 million rates package to assist businesses impacted by COVID-19. Find out more about COVID-19: Emergency rates package for businesses.
The rates calculator for 2020-21 has now been updated.
Please note that the annual rates calculation shows full annual rates for 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.
It does not include any reductions for rate reliefs, exemptions, exclusions or emergency measures introduced to assist those impacted by COVID-19. See COVID-19: Rates support for businesses for further details.
Rates in respect of non-domestic properties eg businesses and offices are based on the rental value of your property.
Net Annual Value (NAV)
To calculate your rate bill, firstly you need to know the NAV-based valuation of your non-domestic property to input into the rates calculator.
