About business rates
Business rates are calculated and collected by the Council. Under the business rates retention arrangements, the Council retains a proportion of the business rates collected to help pay for local services provided by the Council. Business rates are charged on most non-domestic properties (including commercial), for example:
- Shops
- Offices
- Pubs
- Warehouses
- Factories
