Businesses damaged by the storms or flooded may be entitled to relief from business rates. This comes on top of council tax relief for domestic properties, the Government has advised.
If your business property has been damaged and is no longer habitable due to the flooding being experienced in parts of the country, you may be entitled to relief. Find out more about what constitutes a material change of circumstance here – paragraph 8 relates specifically to flooding.
You may also be entitled to a Council Tax reduction if your domestic property is no longer habitable.
In both instances, please contact your local council in the first instance, who will be able to give you further guidance
