Charity relief

If you're a registered charity or Community Amateur Sports Club, you can get 80% off your business rates.

Charities and registered Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) can get 80% relief where:

  • the property is occupied by the charity or the club, and
  • is wholly or mainly used for the charitable purposes of the charity (or of that and other charities), or for the purposes of the club (or of that and other clubs).

For charity shops, the charity must use the property wholly or mainly to sell goods donated to it. It must also use the net proceeds for the purposes of the charity.
