Transitional Relief and Supporting Small Business schemes


Transitional Relief

Transitional relief limits how much your bill can change each year as a result of business rates revaluation. The next revaluation will come into effect on 1 April 2023.

This means changes to your bill are phased in gradually, if you’re eligible.

You may get transitional relief towards your 2023/2024 bill if your bill goes up by more than a certain amount.
