Investor and Developer Relief & Exemptions | Business Rates
Business rates are one of the largest financial obligations for many businesses and are applied to nondomestic properties. These are typically managed by local councils across the UK, with assessments carried out by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA). Fortunately, various reliefs and exemptions, such as empty property relief or retail, hospitality, and leisure relief, offer significant opportunities to reduce costs for eligible businesses.
