Business Rates (NNDR) explained
If you have moved out of a property
You should inform the business rates team of your change in circumstances.
Business rates will not be payable in the first three months that a property is empty. This is extended to six months in the case of certain industrial properties. In most cases, after this period rates are payable in full unless the unoccupied property rate has been reduced by the Government by order. There are a number of exemptions from unoccupied rating. Further details can be obtained from the local authority.
