Revaluation 2023

A package of targeted support worth £13.5 billion over the next five years will support businesses as they transition to their new bills, protect businesses from the impact of inflation, and support our high streets.
Multipliers from 1 April 2024
Multiply your rateable value by your multiplier. This shows you how much you will have to pay in business rates (before any relief is deducted).
| Tax Year | Small business multiplier (RV 0 to £50,999) | Standard multiplier (RV £51,000 and over) |
|---|---|---|
| 2023/24 | 49.9 pence | 51.2 pence |
| 2024/25 | 49.9 pence | 54.6 pence |
The small business multiplier will be added if a business with a rateable value between £0 and £50,999, is unoccupied, on the central list or occupied by charities under the Non-Domestic Rating Act 2023.
Business Rates Transitional Relief Scheme
Transitional relief limits how much your bill changes each year as a result of the business rates revaluation.
You will receive transitional relief if your rates go up or down by a certain amount. The changes to your bill will be phased in gradually. You don’t need to do anything if you are eligible, we will automatically adjust your bill.
| Rateable value | 2023/24 | 2024/25 | 2025/26 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to £20,000 | 5% | 10% plus inflation | 25% plus inflation |
| £20,001 to £100,000 | 15% | 25% plus inflation | 40% plus inflation |
| Over £100,000 | 30% | 40% plus inflation | 55% plus inflation |
