The Business Rates collected by billing authorities (district and London borough councils, the Common Council of the City of London, the Isle of Wight Council and the Council of the Isles of Scilly) are, subject to special arrangements for the City of London, paid into a central pool and redistributed to billing authorities and major precepting authorities.
The Borough Council's share of redistributed rate income, together with income from its council taxpayers, revenue support grant provided by the Government and certain other sums, is used to pay for the services provided by your authority and other local authorities in your area.
If you do not already do so, please pay your Business Rates by monthly direct debit. Just telephone 01344 352456 to make the arrangements or alternatively complete an online form – see Paying the Business Rates.
These pages are intended to give an outline of the Business Rates, so it should not be regarded as a complete guide to the law.
