Charitable & Discretionary Relief

Charities are entitled to relief from rates on any non-domestic property which is wholly or mainly used for charitable purposes. Relief is given at 80% of the full rate bill or of the transitional bill where transitional arrangements apply. Billing authorities have the discretion to remit all or part of the remaining 20% of a charity's bill on such property. Authorities also have discretion to remit all or part of any bill in respect of property occupied by certain bodies not established or conducted for profit (eg community groups or sports clubs).
