InformationNew calculation for Business Rates from 1 April 2026
On 26 November 2025, the Chancellor announced new multipliers that every Council must use to calculate Business Rates for businesses across the country.
From 1 April 2026, every business that is classed as Retail, Hospitality or Leisure will have their bill calculated by using a smaller multiplier and have a smaller bill to pay.
