Business rates, sometimes called commercial rates, are charged on most non-domestic properties such as shops, offices, warehouses and factories. They are collected by local authorities and help fund local services.
If your business occupies a commercial property in Sandwell, you may be liable to pay business rates. The amount payable depends on the rateable value of the property and the multiplier set by government.
Some businesses may be eligible for reliefs or discounts, depending on factors such as property size, business type or whether the property is occupied.
If you need help understanding your business rates or want to check whether you may qualify for relief, guidance is available through Sandwell Council.
