Mandatory and discretionary rates relief
Charities and registered Community Amateur Sports Clubs are entitled to relief from rates on any non-domestic property which is wholly or mainly used for charitable, or club, purposes.
Relief is given at 80 percent of the full rate bill or the transitional bill where the transitional arrangements apply. Billing authorities have the discretion to reduce the bill further.
Authorities can also give relief to certain bodies not established or conducted for profit. This is a discretionary relief.
