Rates Calculated
The rateable value of your property is not the amount you pay in
business rates, but it is the basis for the calculation of your
business rates bill. The rates due from any property are calculated
by multiplying your rateable value by a factor set by central
government each year, this is known as the multiplier. The amount
you pay would normally increase in line with the movement in the
annual Retail Price Index.
