Rate reliefs and exemptions
Transitional relief
As a result of the 2023 revaluation, some ratepayers will see reductions or no change in their bill whereas some ratepayers will see increases.
Transitional relief schemes are introduced at each revaluation to help those facing increases.
The scheme will restrict 2025 bill increases to:
Rateable value | 2025 / 26 |
|---|---|
Up to £20,000 | 25% plus inflation |
£20,001 to £100,000 | 40% plus inflation |
Over £100,000 | 55% plus inflation |
Transitional relief is applied automatically to bills.
Further information about transitional arrangements may be obtained from the local authority or at GOV.UK: Introduction to business rates.
