Business Rate calculator

Business rates are calculated and collected by local authorities using the ‘rateable value’ set by the Valuation Office Agency. This figure is subject to a ‘multiplier’ defined by central government.  Rateable values vary according to the type of premises and are reviewed annually.

Business Link has a calculator which allows you to estimate your business rates bill.
