Business Growth Accelerator Relief

You might be able to get business growth accelerator relief if:

Your premises is a new build property

You have to expand or make improvements to your property

Valid for new builds entered onto valuation roll from 1 April 2018 onwards or expansion/improvements resulted in a Rateable Value increase from 1 April 2018 onwards

New build premises

If your premises are new builds you won't have to pay non-domestic rates until 12 months after the building was completed.

Rates also don't have to be paid on new builds until they're occupied. New tenants will then qualify for business growth accelerator relief for 12 months.

Expanding or making improvements to your premises

If you have expanded or made improvements to your property the business rates you're charged won't change for 12 months. They will continue to be based on your old rateable value for this period of time.
