Charitable relief

Charity relief, relief for registered community amateur sport clubs (CASCs) and discretionary relief

• Charities are entitled to relief from rates on any non-domestic property wholly or mainly used for charitable purposes. Registered CASCs are also entitled to relief from rates on any non-domestic property wholly or mainly used for the purposes of that club or other such registered clubs. In both cases, successful applications will receive relief of 80% of the bill and we have discretion to give further relief.
• We have discretion to give relief on all or part of any rate bill for a property occupied by certain non-profit making bodies. We can consider giving rate relief in cases of hardship or where part of a property is beyond use for a certain period.
