Charities are entitled to relief from rates on any property used
wholly or mainly for charitable purposes.
Relief of 80% of the full rate bill is given to registered
charities, with the discretion to remit the remaining 20%.
If your organisation is not a registered charity but is another
type of non-profit making organisation, the council has a
discretionary power to grant relief on all or part of the
bill.
To qualify the organisation must be charitable, religious, or
concerned with education, social welfare, science, literature or
the fine arts.
Alternatively the organisation must be non-profit making and use
the premises wholly or mainly for recreational
purposes.
