Business Rates: Part Occupied Relief

 

  • Relief Type: Part Occupation Relief
  • Relief %: Any % and amount
  • Who Qualifies: Any business can make application for Part Occupation Relief part of a property is unoccupied for a 'short period of time'. When exercising discretion the Council must apply the general rule that a person who occupies part of a property is deemed to occupy the whole of the property. It is not intended that because part of a property is not in use that it should be taken out of rating.

    Where there are practical difficulties in occupying or vacating a property in one operation, or where a building or manufacturing site becomes temporarily redundant it might be reasonable to award rate relief. Part Occupation Relief is now time limited to 3 months for most businesses and 6 months for industrial properties due to the introduction of the Empty Property Relief changes.
  • How to Claim: Application to provide eligibility of entitlement followed by an inspection of the premises.
