Business rates

Introduction to Business rates
 
Cambridge businesses
Business, or non-domestic rates are paid by occupiers of commercial property as a way of contributing towards the cost of local services.

The money collected is pooled by central government and redistributed to local councils.

Some properties, such as farms, churches or parks, do not have to pay business rates.

If you are a charity or non-profit organisation, a small business, or your property is unoccupied, you may be entitled to business rates relief.
