Business Rates

National Non Domestic Rates (NNDR or Commercial Rates) is a charge levied on commercial properties and collected by the Local Authority since 1990. The amounts collected by all the authorities in Wales are pooled together and redistributed to local councils by the National Assembly for Wales.

The funds from the pool in addition to other funding we receive helps pay for the services provided in your area. We receive the following funding National Assembly for Wales - Revenue Support Grant, local residents - Council Tax, local businesses - Non Domestic Rates redistributed by the National Assembly for Wales.

Payment of Non Domestic Rates is to be made by 10 monthly instalments from April, due on or before the 15th of each month. If you become liable for Non Domestic Rates during the year then your instalments will be adjusted according to the number of payment dates remaining.
