Small Business Bonus Scheme - Have You Applied?

29th September 2010

From April 1 2010 tens of thousands of small businesses will continue to pay no rates at all under the Scottish Government's small business bonus scheme.

You could save up to almost £4,100 year, depending on your rateable value. An eligible business property will save on average £1,440 in 2010-11.

Average savings from previous years of the scheme for each local authority area can be found here.

What's the catch?
There isn't one! The Scottish Government wants to help genuinely small businesses, particularly in the current economic climate.

Who qualifies?
You may qualify if you pay non-domestic rates for properties with a combined rateable value of £25,000 or less.
