Partially occupied business properties
If your property is partly occupied, in certain cases we can ask the Valuation Office Agency to split the rateable value between the occupied and unoccupied parts. The empty part will qualify for the three or six month empty exemption. After this time, the full-occupied rate will apply to the whole property.
If you think you would like to discuss this matter further, contact us at businessrates@sholland.gov.uk or on 01775 761161, selecting 'Business Rates'.
