What about charities and other non-profit organisations?

Registered charities are automatically entitled to an 80 per cent reduction in their rates bills. Authorities have discretion to reduce the bill further or to waive it altogether.

The Council also has discretion to grant relief of up to 100 per cent to certain non-profit making bodies. The purposes of the organisation applying for the relief must be philanthropic, or concerned with education, social welfare, science, literature or the fine arts.
