Business rates

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 49.8p.

*The assessor sets the rateable value of your property and needs to carry out a revaluation, usually every 5 years.

Properties with rateable value between £51,001 and £95,000 will be charged the intermediate property rate of 51.1p (poundage plus 1.3p).
Properties with a rateable value over £95,00 will be charged the higher property rate of 54.4p (the poundage plus 2.6p).

If you disagree with the rateable value of your property, you can appeal to the Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board (opens new window).
