Certain types of property are exempt from business rates. We do not assess these types of property for rateable value.

Exempt types of property include:

• agricultural land and buildings including fish farms
• use of buildings for the training or welfare of disabled persons
• buildings registered for public religious worship and church halls.

A full list of the exempt types of property can be found in Schedule 5 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 .

Other types of property – such as property occupied by charities – may be eligible for rate relief.
