You may be eligible for a full or partial refund if your business rates account is in credit. Common reasons include
- your business moved but your bank payment wasn’t cancelled
- your business rates have been reduced but you’ve been charged the wrong amount
Offsetting debts
If there are any outstanding debts owed to the council, such as council tax, business rates, housing benefit overpayments, or sundry debtor invoices any credit will be used to reduce or clear these debts first.
