Business Rates
Business Rates is a tax on business properties that helps to pay for the borough's services. It is also called the National Non-Domestic Rate.
Business Rates are pooled by Central Government and redistributed to local authorities as part of the annual formula grant settlement. The money, together with revenue from council tax payers, revenue support grant provided by the Government and certain other sums, is used to pay for the services provided by this authority.
Now you can pay your business rates online and view your account details online. To make payments by Direct Debit, please download a direct debit mandate from the attached files section below.
The Council works out your Business Rates bill by multiplying the Rateable Value of the property by the rate multiplier or ‘poundage’, which the Government sets from the 1 April each year.
There are two multipliers. For properties which qualify for small business rate relief the multiplier for 2008/09 has been set at 45.8p in the pound. For properties which do not qualify, the multiplier has been set at 46.2p in the pound, which includes a supplement to pay for small business rate relief.

Small businesses with a rateable value below £10,000 may qualify for a reduction from their full rate bill. In addition, eligible businessess with rateable values between £10,000 and £21,499 (£14,999 outside London) will have their business rates calculated using the small business multiplier
A summary of the small business rate relief scheme can be found on the mybusinessrates.gov.uk website, which you can access via the external links section at the bottom of the page. If you believe your business may qualify for a reduction under the scheme please download and complete an application form (see attached files section below).
Rateable Values are fixed by the Government's Valuation Office Agency, not the Council. Business Properties are revalued every five years and the last revaluation came into effect on 1 April 2005. Valuation lists, showing values for every non-domestic property are available for inspection on the Valuation Office Agency website, which you can access via the external links section at the bottom of the page.
Haringey’s Business Rates section will issue you with a Business Rates demand, which will be payable by monthly instalments. Alternatively, by agreement with the Council, payment can be made annually, half yearly or quarterly.
