Information about business rates and how much you need to pay.
Business rates, or non-domestic rates, are paid by every company or business and help to pay for local council services.
How much do I pay?
The amount you pay is based on the rateable value of your property* multiplied by the rate per £1. The current rate per £1 is 49p.
*The assessor sets the rateable value of your property and needs to carry out a revaluation, usually every 5 years.
Properties with rateable value over £51,000 will include an additional 2.6p per £1.
If you disagree with the rateable value of your property, you can appeal to the Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board.
Find out how much you need to pay on the MyGov.scot website.
