Empty buildings

You don’t have to pay business rates on empty buildings for three months after the property becomes vacant. After this time, most businesses must pay full business rates.

  • Industrial premises, such as warehouses, are exempt for a further three months 
  • Listed buildings are exempt until they become occupied again  
  • Buildings with a rateable value under £2,900 are exempt until they become occupied again 
  • Properties owned by charities are exempt if the property's next use is mainly for charitable purposes  
  • Community amateur sports club buildings are exempt if their next use is mainly for a sports club
