Reducing the impact of a significant increase in the rateable value of your business, following a general revaluation.
The Valuation Office Agency re-values all non-domestic properties every three years. You can find more information on our business rates revaluation page.
At each revaluation the government puts in place a transitional adjustment scheme to phase in any large increases in the business rates you have to pay.
The maximum increases which are allowed under the transitional relief scheme in each financial year:
| Rateable value | 2026/27 | 2027/28 | 2028/29 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to £20,000 | 5% | 10% plus inflation | 25% plus inflation |
| £20,001 to £100,000 | 15% | 25% plus inflation | 40% plus inflation |
| Over £100,000 | 30% | 25% plus inflation | 25% plus inflation |
We automatically include the transitional rate relief when we calculate your bill, so there is no need to apply for it.
You can read more information on the transitional relief page on the GOV.UK website.
