Business rates

Find out about the collection of business rates (national non-domestic rates), how to pay and if you can get a reduction in your payments.

The court hearing scheduled on the 1 February 2021 was adjourned by the court to the 15 February 2021.

We have sent letters to all households that were summonsed for 1 February.

If you have received a letter telling you your hearing has been adjourned you can ignore this if you have:

  • paid in full, the amount on your summons letter
  • been told that your original summons has been withdrawn

We have had to change the way that some of our service operates to meet the guidelines set out by the government in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and to provide additional support for those affected.
