Business Rates: Frequently Asked Questions

What will happen to charities?

Registered charities will qualify for 80% mandatory charity relief. Discretionary relief for non-profit making organisations such as sports clubs is available, subject to application to the Business Rates section below. Further information is available from the Inland Revenue on how to register a Community Amateur Sports Club to become eligible for mandatory rather than discretionary relief.
