You could get rural rate relief if your business is in an eligible rural area with a population below 3,000. Your business must also be:
- the only village general store, food shop or post office, with a rateable value of up to £8,500
- the only public house or petrol station, with a rateable value of up to £12,500
If there’s more than one business in the area, both businesses can still apply if they are different types of business - for example, a public house and a food shop.
The property must be occupied.
