Small Business Rates Relief

All non domestic or business premises in Scotland with a rateable value of £11,500 or less are eligible for a discount of between 5% and 50%.

All subjects with a rateable value of £11,500 or less should automatically receive 5% rates relief.

If your premises are eligible for a higher level of relief (where the rateable value is under £8,000) you should apply to the local authority area in which your property is situated.

We understand that if a claim for Small Business Rates Relief of above 5% was made in 2005/06 then no further action need be taken for the current year. However, we do suggest that you check your rates bill to ensure that the appropriate relief has been given
