Contact the Business Rates team

If you are unable to find the answer to your query online, you can contact the team in your area. You can also contact us if your circumstances have changed.

You should report any changes swiftly so you do not get a backdated increase. 

You should let us know if:

  • your property becomes empty or stops being empty
  • you get another property
  • you make changes (renovate or extend)
  • the nature of your business changes or moves
  • your entitlement to relief changes
  • the rateable value on another property elsewhere (with relief) increases or decreases
