Payments

If you are an occupier of a business premises in North Somerset you are liable to pay business rates.

All occupied and some unoccupied business premises across the district are liable, although relief is available depending on your circumstances.

The amount you pay depends broadly on the rental value of your property, which has been set by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), and is worked out using a formula which multiplies this figure by a rate in the pound (rating multiplier).

Once this has been calculated you will be expected to pay your bill unless you appeal against the charge. However, you must pay the figure stated on your bill while any appeal is being considered.

You can arrange to pay by Direct Debit or by using our online payments system among other methods.
