A rise in the rateable value does not necessarily mean a rise in your bill.

When there is a revaluation, any change in your bill will depend on how much your rateable value has increased compared to the average increase nationally. You bill is calculated by multiplying your rateable value by the multiplier and then applying any rate reliefs you are eligible for. At revaluation, the multiplier is adjusted to ensure that the same amount of tax is collected nationally after revaluation as before, only allowing for inflation.

You can get an estimate of your rates bill on the BusinessLink.gov.uk web site.

If your rateable value has changed at the revaluation then you may be eligible for transitional relief. This spreads the impact of the change over time.
