Following the 2023 revaluation of Business Rates the Scottish Government introduced new legislation which offers a level of protection to businesses that have experienced the biggest increase in their Rates bills.
This relief, where there is entitlement, will be automatically awarded to your Non-Domestic rates account. No application is required.
The following limits will apply to the increases in gross charges from the position as at 31st March 2023.

|
Medium (£20,001 to £100,000) |
25% |
|
Large (over £100,000) |
37.5% |
