Estimate your rate bill

It is not yet possible to estimate your rate bill for 2020-21. This is because the regional rate for 2020-21 has not been set by the Northern Ireland Executive.

The Finance Minister announced a reduction in the regional business rate of 12.5 per cent to benefit all businesses as part of the NI Budget package on 30 March 2020. The Rates Calulator for 2020-21 will be updated at the end of April 2020 after the regional business rate is ratified.

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.

LPS is currently revaluing all business properties in Northern Ireland. These new values will be used to calculate rate bills for businesses and organisations from April 2020.
