Business rates relief for charitable and non-profit making organisations

Last Updated: 6 November 2023

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).

We can then grant further discretionary rate relief on the remaining bill.
