Business rates and BID's
National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR), or business rates, collected by local authorities are the way that those who occupy non-domestic property contribute towards the cost of local services. The rates are pooled by central government and redistributed to local authorities as part of the annual formula grant settlement.
The money, together with revenue from Council Tax payers, revenue support grant provided by the Government and certain other sums, is used to pay for the services provided by us and other local authorities in the area.
