Qualification criteria
Properties used by charities, non-profit making organisations or sports clubs may claim relief to reduce the amount of rates they need to pay.
What relief is available
Mandatory relief
This can be considered for any property which is used by a charitable organisation. Business rates are reduced by 80 percent.
Discretionary relief
Extra relief can be considered for those organisations that are already eligible for mandatory relief. This extra relief is normally 20% of the rates charge and when combined with mandatory relief (80%) will cancel any charge.
Discretionary sports club relief
Up to 100% relief can be considered for clubs or organisations involved with active, participatory sports.
