Small business owners

[Steph86]

Hi geeks, my boyfriend was self employed and rented a garage for years- only ending last year.

We was talking about business rates... He said that now small businesses depending on sq ft of building don't have to pay business rates?! As he didn't have to. This was to help small businesses.

Is this still the case? What about home salons?

Thanks xx

I have a home salon and because less than 30% of the building is used for business I don't have to pay business rates...I'm guessing this varies from council to council

I get 100% business rates relief. It's dependant on your rateable value.

Me too, make sure to check with your council, they should be able to tell you over the phone if you have the relevant information. X

Can someone help me on this please... Just rang the council as I'm hoping to take on a salon. Business rate relief goes from year to year and could change at any time? She said it used to be 50% rate relief now it's 100% but it could go down to 0% and then you are left paying (in my case) £1900 per year!!
Have I got that right?! X

Yes, it depends on your local council as they all have different rates, I get 100 % rate relief, but it isn't guaranteed year to year, depending on sq footage of the premises, plus I was told it only is applicable on a first time business owner x
