How to register to pay business rates
Who needs to register?
Business rates are charged on most non-domestic properties, like:
- offices
- pubs
- shops
- factories
- holiday rental homes
If you're using a building, or part of it, for commercial purposes, you'll likely need to pay business rates.
How to register
If you're moving into a building for non-domestic purposes please register for business rates.
To register your business you'll need:
- the premises address
- the date you occupied the premises
- your company/trading name
What happens next?
Once we've processed your application we'll send you a bill. The bill will tell you your rateable value, and what you need to pay. To find out more about rateable values, please view our business rates explained page.
Business waste and recycling
Your business rates bill doesn’t cover waste collection because it's a separate, legally mandated service for businesses. Businesses have a legal duty to manage their waste responsibly, safely, and securely.
