Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why do I have to pay Business (or Non-Domestic) Rates?
A. Business Rates are a national tax which and are a contribution made by businesses towards the cost of services provided by the Borough Council, the Community Councils, and the Police and Fire and Rescue Services. All the money collected is passed on to the Government, who then redistributes the money to Local Government on the basis of the population of the area.
Q. How are my rates calculated?
A. A rate liability is calculated by multiplying the Non-Domestic Rating Multiplier (formerly known as a rate in the pound or the Rate Poundage) by the Rateable Value of a property.
