How business (non-domestic) rates are calculated
Business rates, also known as non-domestic rates, are calculated by multiplying the rateable value by the rate per £1.
The rateable value is determined by the Assessor, which is their estimate of the rental value of the property on 1 April 2023 and other factors such as property size and usage. The rate per £1 is announced each year by the Scottish Government.
How to estimate your business rates bill
To get an indication of your business rates bill for 2024 to 2025, use the Scottish Government's Business Rates calculator. This calculator determines gross liability, relief and net liability.
By law, assessors must revalue business properties every three years. New rateable values arising from the most recent valuation took effect from 1 April 2023.
