The Council collects Business Rates based on property
valuations by a separate body, the Valuation Office Agency. The
rates collected are not retained by the council but are paid over
to central government, which then pools all this income and
redistributes it to all local councils on a per capita basis or
head of population.
For further information regarding any of the matters included in
the Business Rates section of this site, or for any general
enquiries about Business Rates, please contact the office shown
