3. Charity rate relief

Charitable organisations that occupy a non-domestic property for activities in connection with the purposes of that charity, are entitled to business rates relief of 80% of the bill.

We have the discretion to remit all or part of the remaining 20% of the organisation's bill.

A charity shop will only receive this relief if it is wholly or mainly used for the sale of donated goods
