Business rates: the implications for farmers in England

This NFU Business Guide summarises Business Rates and how they affect farmers and growers.
Business Rates (or Non-Domestic Rates as they are correctly known) are levied on all property in the United Kingdom that is neither specifically exempt from the payment of rates or is a domestic property. Domestic property is charged to Council Tax which is not covered in this guide. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS GUIDE APPLIES TO BUSINESS RATES IN ENGLAND ONLY.
