Owners of unoccupied non-domestic properties may be liable to empty property rates which are charged at 100% of the normal liability.

Liability begins after the property has been empty for 3 months or in the case of factories and warehouses after the property has been empty for 6 months. Certain types of property are exempt from empty property rates.

To enable your correct National Non-Domestic Rates liability to be ascertained please contact the finance service.
