Other types of relief

Rate Relief for certain types of Rural Businesses

Certain businesses may be entitled to relief. This is if they are the only such business in a qualifying area, and their Rateable Value is below a certain level.

Examples of these include:

• village shops and post offices
• public houses
• petrol filling stations

Hardship Relief

Wakefield Council has the discretion to give relief in special and exceptional circumstances. This is where it can be clearly demonstrated that the local Council Taxpayers would suffer if it were not to do so.
