Business Rate Relief

Just a reminder that if your business property has a rateable value of £18,000 or less, then you may be entitled to relief under the Small Business Bonus Scheme.

Relief is also available if you have multiple properties with a combined rateable value of less than £35,000, but each individual qualifying property must have a rateable value of £18,000 or less. If you think you might be eligible but haven’t yet applied, this is the Aberdeenshire link:
