Rateable Values for Business Premises

For anyone with business premises, the rateable value of those premises has just been reassessed and can be found here. 

A new rental-only methodology is being used for the accommodation sector and many owners are seeing increases of 120-300%. Owners have until 16th February to request a review of their draft RV.

On 13th January, the Scottish budget will set the poundage rate that will be applied to the rateable values and will announce any changes to the Small Business Bonus Scheme, which currently offers anyone with a rateable value of less than £12k 100% relief against their bill.

On 1st April 2026 the final RVs come into force and formal appeals can then be lodged.

For a fuller explanation you can watch the below video by GrowBiz Enterprise Facilitator Karen Martin.
