The Multiplier

There are two multipliers, the standard non-domestic rating multiplier and the small business non-domestic rating multiplier. The standard non-domestic rating multiplier is higher to pay for small business rate relief.

The Government sets the multipliers for each financial year for the whole of England. The Government normally changes both multipliers every year to move in line with inflation.

We work out your Business Rates bill by multiplying the rateable value of the property by the appropriate multiplier.

The current multipliers will be shown on the front of your bill.
