Small business rate relief (SBRR)
Small business rate relief is a reduction on your business rates liability, reducing the amount you have to pay.
A ratepayer can receive full relief if the rateable value is under £12,000. This declines in percentage terms on a sliding scale until it is 0% at £15,000.
