Charity Relief
Charitable organisations, registered under the Charity Act 1960, that occupy a non-domestic property for activities in connection with the purposes of that charity, are entitled to Business Rates relief of 80% of the full bill (or of the transitional bill where transitional arrangements apply). The Council has the discretion to remit all or part of the remaining 20% of the charity's bill.
Empty Property Rates
An exemption from empty property rates will be given where liability falls on a charity and the property appears likely to be next used for charitable purposes.
