You are entitled to a 50% reduction in your rates bill - or more if it is deemed appropriate - if you are:
- The only village general store or post office, as long as you have a rateable value of less than £8,500
- A food shop with a rateable value of less than £8,500 (take aways and restaurants are not included)
- The only village pub or petrol station (rateable value of less than £12,500).
If you are a business in a qualifying rural village with a rateable value of less than £16,500 may be able to get 100% relief if your business is considered to be of benefit to the local community. However, this is decided on a case by case basis and needs to be applied for.
