If your business or premises change

Your business rates could change if:

  • you move or make changes to your premises
  • the nature of your business changes
  • you sublet part of your property
  • you merge 2 or more properties into 1

Report changes to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) to make sure you’re paying the right amount and do not get a backdated increase in your bill.

Business rates are handled differently if your property is in Scotland or your property is in Northern Ireland.

If your premises are affected by local disruption

You may get a temporary reduction in your business rates if your premises are affected by severe local disruption (like flooding, building or roadworks).

Report changes to the VOA.

How to report changes

You can report changes using your business rates valuation account.
