You could get rural rate relief if your business is in a rural area with a population below 3,000.

You won’t pay business rates if your business is in an eligible area and either:

  • Is in a place on our rural settlement list
  • Is the only business of that type in the settlement
  • Has a rateable value of £8,500 or less (£12,500 or less for public houses and petrol filling stations).
