Charities and registered Community Amateur Sports Clubs
Charities and registered Community Amateur Sports Clubs are entitled to 80% relief where the property is occupied by the charity or the club, and is wholly or mainly used for the charitable purposes of the charity (or of that and other charities), or for the purposes of the club (or of that and other clubs).
All new applications will receive an unnotified visit to ensure the charity meets the requirements.
Billing authorities have the discretion to reduce the bill further.
Authorities can also give relief to certain bodies not established or conducted for profit. This is a discretionary relief. The purpose of the organisation applying for the relief must be philanthropic, religious or concerned with education, social welfare, science, literature or the fine arts. For more information, please contact the Business Rates Section.
An application form must be completed, for any relief to be considered.
