Business and investment Working out your business rates

Cancelled backdated rates

By law, the government can allow cancellations of some backdated rates bills that accrued on the 2005 rating list.

This affects some businesses that were affected by unexpected and significant backdated rates, where their property was split from another property for rating purposes.

Information on the type of backdated rates that can be cancelled is on the Communities and Local Government website, including the Business Rates Information Letter (BRIL) 3/2011
