Transitional arrangements
Information on transitional arrangements and limits on increases
Transitional Relief
Transitional relief limits how much your bill can change each year because of business rates revaluation. This means changes to your bill are phased in gradually if you’re eligible.
We will adjust your bill automatically if you’re eligible.
How much your bill can change by?
How much your bill can change by from one year to the next depends on both:
- your property’s rateable value
- whether your bill is increasing as a result of revaluation
You stop getting transitional relief when your bill reaches the full amount set by a revaluation.
If your bill is increasing from 1 April 2023
