Charitable And Discretionary Relief
Charities are entitled to relief from rates on any
non-domestic property that is wholly or mainly used for charitable
purposes.
Relief is allowed at 80 percent of the full rate bill (or
transitional bill where transitional arrangements apply). The
Council has discretion to remit all or part of the remaining 20 per
cent of a charity's bill on such a property. Similar arrangements
apply to Registered Community Amateur Sports Clubs.
The Council also has discretion to remit all or part of any
rate bill in respect of property occupied by certain bodies not
established or conducted for profit.
Application forms can be obtained from the Revenues
Division.
