This will mean that properties rateable values may increase or decrease.
The government has brought in the 2026-2029 Transitional scheme to support ratepayers facing large bill increases following the 2026 revaluation. This scheme operates over a period of three years from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. You can find more details on the government website.
Under the 2026 to 2029 Transitional relief scheme the following limits have been applied to yearly increases until the full amount is due. There are 3 different percentage limits for small, medium and large properties as defined by the properties rateable value (RV) and detailed in the table below:
| Rateable value | Property size | 2026 to 2027 | 2027 to 2028 | 2028 to 2029 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RV up to £20,000 | Small | 5% | 10% plus inflation | 25% plus inflation |
| RV between £20,001 to £100,000 | Medium | 15% | 25% plus inflation | 40% plus inflation |
| RV over £100,000 | Large | 30% | 25% plus inflation | 25% plus inflation |
Transitional Relief is based on comparing your rateable value on 31 March 2026 against the rateable value on 1 April 2026.
We will automatically adjust your bill if deemed eligible.
Business ratepayers who do not receive Transitional relief or the Supporting Small Business relief scheme will pay a 1p supplement on top of their multiplier to partially fund Transitional relief. This will apply for one year from 1 April 2026.
