Rate reliefs and exemptions

Improvement relief

If you make certain improvements to your property which are completed after 1 April 2024, you may get relief from higher business rates bills.

You do not need to apply.

If you meet the necessary requirements, the relief will be applied to your bills for up to 12 months from the date the improvement works were completed.

You can find out more about which improvements are eligible at GOV.UK: Improvement relief.

If you have questions about a certificate of qualifying works, please contact the Valuation Office Agency at the email address on your certificate.
